Service Opportunities
-
We would like to invite all crowned Belle's to participate in service projects locally in Tuscaloosa. We believe pageantry is about so much more than what happens on the stage. Dates for opportunities will be shared soon, but the first will take place at Forest Lake UMC (where the pageant is being held).
-
Bottoms Up Diaper Bank distribution day: Come distribute diapers and supplies to those in need. There are no government programs that supply diapers. Come help fill the gap!
-
Tuscaloosa Animal Welfare Alliance: Join us for a service day supporting our furry friends across Tuscaloosa.

Beneficiaries
