"Tri-Valley Pageants strives to strengthen confidence, individual pride, and social awareness in these young ladies," said Lowana Crawford, pageant director. "During their reign, they will grow as community leaders by speaking publicly on issues of importance, supporting causes they believe in, and rolling up their sleeves to make a difference. 

Some of the community service platforms represented by these young ladies include Rancho Damacitas Children’s Home, Animal Friends of the Valleys and art and music programs for children, Crawford said.

Members of the Royal Courts will attend City and Chamber of Commerce events throughout the year, Crawford said.
