Amy Philips-Redclift, Miss Mobile 2004 and a graduate student at Troy State University , spent the recent holiday season helping raise funds for Mobile-based charities
    Philips-Redclift, who received her bachelor's degree from TSU, raised more than $17,000 for the Salvation Army Angel Tree and $6,000 for the Alabama Preschool for the Sensory Impaired.
   Philips-Redclift produced the annual “A Christmas with Miss Mobile,” which collected more than 600 toys and nearly 50 non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army.
    She planned the entire event and performed with Erin Turner, Miss Troy State University 2004, and many other Mobile-area groups.  

    “Amy has done an outstanding job in planning this annual event,” said Chuck Steelman, executive director of the Miss Mobile preliminary. “She has a compassion for helping those in need and that is evident with the amount of support she raised.”
    Philips-Redclift was interviewed on WKRG-TV in Mobile by news anchor/reporter Jennifer Jones-Abney, also a graduate of Troy State University about her fund-raising event for the Sensory Impaired Center .
   Philips-Redclift, a native of San Antonio , developed her platform on disability awareness after experiencing a speech disability as a child. Her platform builds the self-esteem of children with disabilities.
    Amy will represent the city of Mobile in the 2004 Miss Alabama pageant in June of 2004 in Birmingham . Last year, she was Miss Troy State University and was named fourth runner-up to Miss Alabama and received a swimsuit preliminary award.
