National American Miss and International Junior Miss teach girls how to be leaders; make a difference in their community; gain interview skills; create a great resume; and opens the door to friendships with like-minded service oriented girls all over the world.
Hailey has only competed three times. When she was 7 years old she did her first pageant at National American Miss and surprised us when she won the title of Miss Washington Princess. She then went on to Nationals, in California, and shocked us when she was crowned the National Princess. She had an amazing year of service as she traveled all over the country to be a representative of this amazing organization. $6,000 college scholarship was a nice perk too. Unfortunately, after serving in that capacity she got sick with Lyme disease. After taking a four year break to get better she has made a great recovery and is back to making a big difference in her community and back on the stage. We are so grateful for these unique experiences that have helped Hailey realize that she can do anything she puts her mind to and that she is never too young to be a force for good in the world.
Starting at age six, Hailey, with the support of our community, local businesses, schools, friends, and family, has been able to put together and donate 78 Wish Packs and raised thousands of dollars for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She even received the Kohlâs Cares Scholarship Award for her impact in the community and a plaque from the Make-A-Wish Foundation for her contributions to their organization. Haileyâs next big project will involve her fellow classmates at Ridgeline High School and she has been working with Mr. Emmerson and the Make-A-Wish Foundation so stay tuned for some fun while helping those most in need. Her motto is âFind and Fulfillâ and she has found a great need with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She canât wait to involve her fellow students in fulfilling those needs!
She is off to Internationals in November and will be competing with girls from all over the world. She has already made some friends with her fellow sister queens from the Philippines, Australia, and Ireland. The friendships and personal growth are some of the greatest rewards!
