WHAT WE DO
In 2023, we will produce 4 local programs; Miss Riverside City, Miss Riverside City’s Teen, Miss Grand Terrace & Miss Grand Terrace's Teen official preliminaries to; Miss California & Miss America Organization. We recruit candidates from the State of California that MUST be available to appear in person a minimum of 10 times throughout 2023. We help them prepare by coaching, mentoring, and counseling the candidates as they prepare for one of our scholarship programs depending on which City they are representing. Funds raised through the patronage of local businesses, organizations, and private individuals are awarded in financial scholarships for education and financial assistance for the three different programs to meet the expenses associated with this type of program expenses. We award $700.00 to our Miss Title Holders & $300.00 to our Teen Title Holders. We are official preliminaries of Miss California & Miss America Organization which awards thousands of dollars to title holders as a part of over 30 million dollars in scholarship assistance awarded annually by the
