In January of 2023, members of the Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated chose Madison Butler as our contestant for her beautiful Social Justice entry, An Expression of Poverty and Homelessness, she was presented with a bountiful basket filled with art supplies. Both Madison and her mother, Dafiney Butler were joined by members of The Arts Facet to celebrate the occasion.
