Abbey Curran, a farmer’s daughter, was born with cerebral palsy. She was always being told she couldn’t, she shouldn’t, no way!
Everyone said she could never win a beauty pageant, but she competed anyway. After seven years of not winning, she made history in 2008 when she became Miss Iowa, and went on to be the first and still the only woman with a disability to compete in the Miss USA Pageant.
Back in 2004, she founded Miss You Can Do It, the national non-profit pageant for girls and women with special needs, to show them they can do anything as long as they just try.
In 2013 HBO made a documentary titled “Miss You Can Do It” which told the story of that unique event. Abbey went on to be named one of the Most Inspirational Women in America and, in 2015, she wrote and published her life story “The Courage to Compete”.
Abbey’s not done yet! As a sister organization to the national Miss You Can Do It Pageant, her new project, You Can Do It Surprise, is the ultimate slumber party for girls ages 5 to 15, and the hottest event this year. It’s giving girls and young women who face challenges the chance of a lifetime.

At You Can Do It Surprise we’ve redefined the word “challenge”. To us, challenge means facing something difficult. It could be walking, talking, making friends, dealing with bullying at school, or just wishing you were happier.
Our event will be nestled away in a private resort near Chicago where the weekend will be filled with activities: learning how to introduce yourself in front of a crowd; learning to verbalize what makes you special; how to deal with bullying; how to perform a group dance and how to make friends.
This glitter-sparked extravaganza also includes a swimming party, a dance party with real-life princesses, slime making, fun food, movie watching, pillow fighting, and lots more.
We also have a special weekend planned for the adults!
Now let me ask you again: are you ready for something super special?
That’s what I thought!
I promise you that the ‘You Can Do It Surprise’ will be a magical weekend you’ll remember forever!
