Our Mrs. Senior World Karen Pritchett
Our Mrs. Senior World Your Mrs. Senior World is a wife, mom, and noted for the time and effort she has put in helping others.
Karen Pritchett and her husband have raised a blended family and know what it takes to motivate, inspire, and empower. She has been happily married to Andrew (SFC US Army Retired) for almost 8 years, and together they have two children, Ryan (41) and Raven (17). After working full-time for almost 45 years, Karen decided to retire and now spends her time actively volunteering with some of her favorite charities. Fundraising is one of her passions!
Her fundraising and volunteerism has spanned four decades to include organizations that are local, state and international. She currently is volunteering/fundraising with 2 Breast Cancer Organizations and has done 5 Fundraisers this year with MLB Seattle Mariners. She has been volunteering and has done fundraising for United Way, Boys and Girls Clubs, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen, Juvenile Diabetes Association, Dream Builders Ball, Dream Foundation and so many more. Her participation as Chairperson, Committee fundraiser and Board of
Directors has helped these organizations raise over $12,000,000.00.
She did her first pageant at the age of 5 (which she won) and then did not compete again until age 40 when she entered a Mrs. Pageant. She went on to win titles at all levels and now the title of Mrs. Senior World. With this title she hopes to empower women to set goals, dreams and never give up no matter what obstacles you may face.
She is a survivor of Domestic Violence and while working 2 jobs she was able to help her son attend the University of Washington where he received his Juris Doctorate. Karen's Awards and Recognition Include: District and National Head Coach - Hershey and Jesse Owen Track
Programs. Mariners Grant to Build 4 Field Baseball Complex that serves 5,000 youth and adult. Employee of the Month/Year at Virginia Mason Medical Center. Washington State Governor’s Proclamation - 3 years for work with the Senior Services and Citizens with Disabilities.
Being involved and volunteering has allowed Karen to use her passion for service to connect with the community to serve, which includes: A Hero’s Promise, Susan G Komen, Fred Hutchison Cancer Centers, Queens for a Cure, National Breast Cancer Foundation, Yelm Chamber of Commerce, City of Lacey Events speaking engagements on her platform, Princess Project, Fisher House, American Heart Association, Go Red for Women, and Special Stars (Downs Syndrome). These experiences, in addition to her platform and work, will help Karen to be a successful
both at the state, national and international level as she continues to build relationships and bridges with communities and organizations.
Her main platform is Senior Abuse Awareness because it's personal when lifelong friends and family members are affected. She did her homework and found that not much awareness has been brought to the forefront in over two decades, and also realized that the health and wellness of our senior population are also areas of concern. It broke her heart to find that some seniors are sometimes left hungry and malnourished because of a lack of food programs to help sustain their precious lives. Karin had to do something and with this title can do much more for this vulnerable population.<br>
Karin's favorite quote is “Each one – Teach One”.
