It's Not a Beauty Pageant, It's a Scholarship Program!

Amy Wieczorek

Believe it or not, this little city in the midwest is fashion obsessed.  We had a huge runway show (not to mention dozens of other events) for Fashion Week here in Omaha.  I was lucky enough to walk for my favorite local designer, and extra lucky because I happened to be walking right alongside our Miss Nebraska ANTSO, Amy Wieczorek.   
This girl is involved in so many organizations and charities, I don't know how she keeps up!  She's head of a branch of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), she fundraises for half a dozen charities, and she works and goes to school full time.  The girl is seriously driven, and she's been doing pageants for years. 

As children get older, pageants require more and more community involvement and volunteer work.  These programs create a fun, friendly competition that encourages kids and young adults to help out where ever they can in the world.  Also, a big part of winning pageants these days centers around the college scholarships given out as prizes.  Education is expensive, and pageant programs provide a way for students to pay for part of their education through helping the community and becoming someone who genuinely deserves a scholarship.  These days, you'd be hard pressed to find a pageant that doesn't care about volunteer work and good grades.

Getting your little girl started in the pageant circuit at a young age is a great idea, and Sophia's Style carries some beautiful girls pageant dresses that are fabulous and totally affordable.  Shop our girl's pageant gowns and baby pageant dresses, and find the perfect dress for her, so she can feel gorgeous and confident at her first pageant!
