​
The winners chosen for this pageant become role models and will serve as spokesperson for our charity organization (Miss Sunshine Charity Inc.) and its pageant system, and will be the backbone of this great organization! Their goal should be to encourage and empower others to get out in their communities and volunteer. They will be able to inspire many people in their generation today and really talk about the importance of volunteering and talk about their specifically selected local or state non-profit organization. Our contestants must live in and select an organization within Florida as their charity of choice. As part of their prize package, any Royalty who completes their year of service and meets the mandatory service requirements of the Miss Sunshine Charity Pageant may receive a check/donation to present to their selected charity of choice at the end of their reign.
