Fundraising Goal Tracker
Dear Family and Friends,
My name is Marlie Gantt, daughter of Tifani and Tamar Gantt. I am currently a 4.0 student in my senior year at Simi Valley High School. While attending Simi High, I have been a member of the Dance Team and Varsity Cheer, serving as Dance Captain this year. Within my school life, I enjoy mentoring younger students and sharing what I’ve learned through dance and cheer, finding ways to bring positivity and energy through choreography. Being part of these teams has taught me the value of hard work, teamwork, and confidence both on and off the floor. This year, I have been allowed to be a contestant for the “Miss Debutante 2026” program with the 20ᵗʰ Century Onyx Club, Inc.

The 20ᵗʰ Century Onyx Club is a nonprofit civic and social organization based in Ventura County, founded in 1961 by Mrs. Ruth Gibson.

It would mean so much to me to take part in this beautiful tradition that celebrates growth, confidence, and achievement. I would be so grateful for your support as I work towards being crowned “Miss Debutante 2026.” There are several ways you can help me reach this goal by attending the ball, giving a donation, or purchasing an advertisement in the event program. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make this experience possible. If you would like to contribute, please provide your online donations no later than January 10, 2026.

Yours Truly,
Marlie T. Gantt
