Mackenzie Carey started Girl Scouts as a
Brownie. Now, 12 years later, Carey is a
lifetime member, a troop co-leader, a
contemporary country music artist, and an
advocate for Girl Scouts.
On Saturday, Jan. 14. Carey headlined a concert
in Cocoa Beach to benefit local Girl Scouts. The
funds raised at Carey’s concert will benefit the
GIFTs for Girls Annual Campaign fund at Girl Scouts
of Citrus. The GIFTs for Girls Annual Campaign
ensures that every girl in Central Florida has the
opportunity to be involved in Girl Scouts by
sponsoring the membership costs for a girl who
needs financial support.
While launching her music career, Carey remains
actively involved in Girl Scouts, volunteering her
time with a local troop. “Girl Scouts played an important
role in my life, providing me with so many
opportunities, and I intend to stay involved as
much as I can now that I’m no longer a girl [member],” says Carey. “It was an extremely supportive
atmosphere and I learned many organizational and business skills that are now coming in handy, as I
work to build my career and business.”
“We are incredibly proud of Mackenzie,” remarked Maryann Barry, CEO of Girl Scouts of Citrus. “Even as
she works so hard on her music career, she takes the time to give back to her community. She knows the
importance of investing in
girls and is a great role
model for young women
everywhere. Every cent
raised at the concert will
help us prepare the next
generation of self-sufficient
and capable women.”
