Is the suspense just killing you?! Last month, we mentioned that one very deserving person received more nominations for our Random Acts of Trophy-ness “Show Us Your Sue” campaign than any other award recipient so far!

And now, we would like to introduce you to that very person! The latest winner of our Show Us Your Sue trophy (with the most award nominations so far!) is (suspenseful pause as we gingerly open the award envelope!) Gomee Girl!

Gomee Girl, a community, brand and beautiful concept created by Donna Rheaume Furgal, inspires girls of all ages to love themselves for who they are and to have a blast showing the world what it is that makes them special.

That’s why Gomee Girl won Trophy Central’s Show Us Your Sue award for “Excellence in Girl Empowerment”.

Congratulations, Gomee Girl!!!

Inspiration is the New Winning

For any new readers of our Trophy Central blog (welcome!) who are wondering what a Random Acts of Trophy-ness “Show Us Your Sue” trophy is, prepare to get excited! Inspired by the positive persistence and unwavering determination of Sue Heck on ABC’s The Middle, we at Trophy Central are giving out trophies to the Sues of the world!

Because at Trophy Central, we don’t just sell trophies—we deliver smiles!

Which means we champion the underdogs, the dream-chasers and the go-getters.

Sue Heck tries her hardest at everything—and she never, EVER gives up!

So what if things don’t come easily for her like they do for her brother Axl? We at Trophy Central agree with Sue that so-called failure and adversity just make her a stronger person!

The Axls of the world will get trophies for excelling at sports, but the Sues of the world deserve to win trophies for inspiring people with who they are!

That’s why Gomee Girl is so very “Show Us Your Sue!” Gomee Girl’s motto is “Go Be YOU!” (It even rhymes!)

Making a Difference

We at Trophy Central are in love with the passion behind the creation of Gomee Girl.

Founder Donna says:

“I think that girls, in particular, (and women in general) are inundated with images and ideals that are just flat out unattainable. You see, I was that girl who always worried about how she looked and whether I fit in and I remember how that feels. Gomee Girl is here to let girls know that they can rock their beauty just the way they are! I encourage girls to express themselves and to embrace what makes them unique with our beautiful designs and our messages of positive self expression. I want girls to believe it when I say that they are amazing and they can love themselves just the way they are! Now that, my friends, is TRUE beauty!”

And we are so very grateful for Gomee Girl’s thoughtful acceptance speech, delivered on her Facebook page:

Gomee Girl has been awarded the Trophy Central #ShowUsYourSue trophy for Excellence in Girl Empowerment!!!

I’m so honored and thrilled – it means SO much to be recognized this way! Thank you, Trophy Central, for your support and, more importantly, for believing in me!!!

The award is so beautiful and it is proudly displayed at Gomee Girl Headquarters so I can see it every day!

The award is all about recognizing those who strive to make a difference in the world and in the lives of others… it’s not always easy, everyone won’t always buy into what you’re saying and the road is sometimes long… but it’s so worth it! If my message can get to even one little girl and if it matters to that one girl, then I will have achieved success.

Go Be YOU!™ That’s what it’s all about. Whatever that means to you, go do it! Be YOU in all of your amazing ways! I’m cheering you on all the way and, along the way, I sometimes remember to cheer myself on… Go Mee!

If you know of someone who strives to make a difference in the lives of others, you can nominate them for the Trophy Central Random Acts of Trophy-ness campaign which celebrates everyday heroes who inspire!

Thank you so much, Trophy Central! Your belief in Gomee Girl means the world to me!
