Miss Arc Broward Pageant Celebrates
Confidence, Inclusion, and Dreams Come True!
The Miss Arc Broward Pageant is the culmination of a season filled with mentorship, friendship, and empowerment. Through special programs and events, participants build self-esteem and discover their strengths in an environment that celebrates who they are.
“Whether someone has attended the pageant before or it’s their first time, it’s impossible to leave untouched by the sense of belonging that defines this event,” said Julie Price, Arc Broward CEO. “It’s not just a pageant—it’s a celebration of resilience, determination, and courage.”
Event co-chairs Natalie Glusman and Candace Kelley led this year’s efforts, with Glusman also serving as emcee. “The Miss Arc Broward Pageant shows everyone that anything is possible,” she said. “Thanks to our sponsors, judges, teen ambassadors, and the community, we’re helping turn dreams into reality.”
Building Confidence and Community
Each contestant was paired with a teen ambassador from one of more than a dozen local schools who served as a mentor and cheerleader throughout the pageant journey. More than 800 family members, friends, and supporters filled the theater to celebrate the contestants’ courage and talent.
