A 25 year tradition, pageants directly benefit pediatric programs through Children's Miracle Network at Yakima Valley Memorial and Children's Village, serving thousands of children each year through hospital treatment, educational programs, and family services. Participating high schools organize pageants where contestants are judged in a number of categories, including creativity, faculty review, and individual fundraising. The schools contribution is a result of individual contestant fundraising, the pageant night itself, as well as other events held throughout the school year. As a student-organized philanthropy project centered on raising awareness and funds for children in dire need of special health care, this program enhances school unity and fosters community involvement. Since the funds stay local, the students see the positive effects of their efforts and walk away knowing that they can play a part in making their hometown a better place in which to live.
