Ms Collier County Women, Ann Bechtol

Ann Bechtol
Ms. Collier County Woman
Ann is the proud mother of 2 children, Tiffani age 12 and Codi age 8. They are truly the inspiration that keeps her going.
For the past 5 years Ann has been an inspiration to many women by bringing awareness of domestic violence to the community. As stated in a recent newspaper article "No One Wants to Admit There Husband is Abusive." Domestic violence does not have any demographics and affects 1 out of 4 relationships. No one should have to suffer this alone. There are several out reach programs available.
As Ms. Collier County Woman, Ann will use her title to continue to bring awareness to the community and if winning the title of Ms. Florida Woman will bring awareness throughout the state.
Ann has also recently gotten involved with the J. Timothy Hogan Foundation. This foundation raises funds to treat childrens mental illness. In March of 2006 the foundation was recognized and awarded outstanding honors by Gov. Bush for the "Addressing Treatments Needs award". In February of 2007 the foundation raised over $50,000 to go toward the medical expenses for teens to receive the help they need.
