    In July of 2022 my underage daughter was crowned a National winner in this pageant system. As part of her winnings she was to represent the system for 1 year, make required appearances (#24), post on social media weekly and she would receive Scholarships, Prizes and Gifts not to exceed $5,000. This organization also has a 501-c3 nonprofit listed on their website which purpose includes “ We help provide basic needs in communities including food and clothing – plus life improving/betterment skills and needs”.

    My complaint it that this organization is bogus. The director, Tammy Johns has gone against her advertised claim to provide those scholarships to the winner on top of several other things. She has withdrawn the contracts on at least 4 of the 6 current titleholders all to have to keep from paying the girls their scholarships. Her nonprofit provides false information as well. I believe she uses the charitable contributions and donations for her personal gain. My daughter donated over $1,500 to the nonprofit in October of 2022. I have yet to see where the money was used in the manner the nonprofit claims. The Director won’t address the issue that she has no money. She in fact told me that I was “below the belt” when I questioned her nonprofit. She has used us for her own financial gain and now does not have the money to pay her winners. She advertises as if the organization provides wonderful opportunities for winners…instead we’ve had to pay our own way for trips, food and room & board for all group outings. In fact, after I myself paid thousands for a required trip in March of 2023 for my child, within days of returning she notified us in a text message that our daughters was released from her contract. Upon speaking with her, there was no reason that made sense on why we were treated this way. The director tried to cut ties so she wouldn’t have to pay. Her charity needs to be audited too. She can’t keep doing this to people, it’s wrong!
