Engaging in pageants offers girls and women numerous advantages and imparts invaluable life skills. The noteworthy aspect of competition lies in the fact that one doesn't necessarily have to secure victory to enjoy these benefits.


Intelligence | Ambition | Kindness

That's the foundation of the American Miss Program.
