Katarina, 8, of Richmond, is one of 20 finalists in a Gap marketing contest.
Richmond girl eyeing Gap prize Clothing retailer will select four children from 20 finalists for its new ad campaign by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter An eight-year-old Richmond girl is among 20 finalists now competing to be featured in a new
Gap marketing campaign. The popular clothing retailer named Katarina Mueller, a Grade 3 student at Tomekichi Homma Elementary, a finalist after a North American search for the brightest babies and kids. Now, online voters will determine which four children—one girl and one boy for babyGap and one girl and one boy for GapKids—will appear in the retailer’s fall advertising. Mom Noleen Mueller submitted her daughter’s photo—along with hundreds of thousands of others in Canada and the United States. “I knew it was going to be a long-shot. I didn’t expect this,”
for the foundation. “With Chad’s leadership, we will be able to inspire more people to help us provide the tools and facilities that the doctors, nurses and health care teams need to care for all of us in Richmond.” Added Pederson: “As a Richmond resident, I’m excited by the opportunity to work for the Richmond Hospital Foundation to improve the quality of life for my neighbours and friends. The hospital is such an important part of our community and I’m honoured to be joining the team.”
