CARES is a statewide organization operated in many counties throughout the state of Georgia. Formed specifically to assist cancer patients with financial burdens that they may incur because of the disease. The Miss Georgia State CARES Scholarship Pageant is a fund raising program for this non-profit charitable organization. Raising money for our local CARES offices through the pageant system binds
us together as a community, providing love, hope, and support by allowing our CARES Queens to become outstanding ambassadors for this organization
The Miss Georgia State CARES Board of directors, hold preliminary pageants throughout the year, beginning in January, extending through May. Each pageant is open to all ages, young and old -Birth and up. During the preliminaries each girl must compete in the division they will be in at State in August 2015. The winning preliminary queens will automatically advance to the Miss Georgia CARES Scholarship Pageant, held each fall. For additional information on how you may volunteer or participate in a local preliminary CARES pageant, message us here. We will be happy to direct you to one of our State CARES director. Thank you-
