2013 High School Pageants

 
In 1992, CJ Martin got in trouble at school. His "punishment" was to take part in a Leadership Class. Proving he had learned his lesson in a BIG way, he concocted the idea of holding a talent/beauty pageant to raise money for hospitalized children —with a twist. The GUYS would put on the show and the GIRLS would manage them. Kids Helping Kids was born!

Fast forward to the present day: Students from 18 high schools in four counties labor for three or more months to fund-raise and create an event that has become a permanent tradition for the schools.

The students who choose to participate do so for different reasons. By pageant night, however, they are all in it for one reason — saving lives. No longer focused on competing for the winning spot, these young adults have learned to look beyond their own teenage wants, needs, activities and social status and contribute to a vital community resource.

Many thanks to our title sponsor, Pacific Continental Bank.

Thanks also to Staples, Mr. Formal, and Miners for their gift-in-kind donations to support participating high schools.
