Welcome to the 2019 National Miss You Can Do It Pageant

ongratulations! And Welcome to The National Miss You Can Do Its 16th Anniversary Pageant. You are one of seventy five girls in the nation who will compete in the experience of a lifetime!

The Miss You Can Do It Pageant is a national nonprofit pageant for girls and women with special needs and challenges, a magical event that happens only one night a year. We have come quite a long way since our first pageant in 2004, and those who witnessed the beginning could not have possibly anticipated the incredible growth Miss You Can Do It has achieved.

This competition puts its contestants on a memorable path; this experience leaves you with great memories, strong friendships, and a defining sense of accomplishment. This surreal night is a once in a lifetime experience!

I ask you as contestants to put your fears aside. To allow yourself to try something outside of the ordinary. I ask you to be brave. Life is about pushing yourself. I am so proud of you for being part of this pageant and by doing so I believe you are one step closer to your dream come true!

Please read the following information carefully and please save this packet.

Sincerely yours,

Founder
