Miss Kansas 2021 activities got underway Wednesday morning, July 7 with a welcome ceremony at Carpenter Auditorium for 23 candidates, parents, family members, supportive cast crew and volunteers at Pratt Community College in Pratt.
The top five finalists for Social Impact Initiatives were announced as well as pep talks given, special instructions and scheduling guidelines passed along, but it was the amount of in-kind donations and scholarship offerings listed that brought into focus the real meaning of what the Miss Kansas Competition can do for young women. We have $6M in-kind donations and scholarship awards to give out this year to our Miss Kansas girls, said Sue Givens, Scholarship and Awards Chairperson and Miss Kansas Organization Chair of the Board. Make no mistake there is beauty and there is pageantry involved here, but the real reason we are here is to empower women to be their best. We are so thankful for all our sponsors who are making this possible
