Anderson County would like to invite your news station to come and experience the 6th Annual You are Beautiful Pageant that is taking place on Thursday January 18, 2024, at the Anderson County Civic Center. Doors open at 6pm. 

Tickets will be $10 at the door; we will accept cash or Venmo only. There will be a 50/50 raffle. This year we have 32 contestants registered to showcase their abilities. 

The You Are Beautiful Pageant highlights the authentic beauty of the special needs community and provides a platform for our friends with special needs to teach us all how to set aside our differences and enjoy our similarities. This year’s theme will be ‘Let your abilities shine’. This will be our sixth pageant. So far, the You Are Beautiful Pageant has raised more than $10,000 to donate back to our local athletes. 

For more information, please visit the You Are Beautiful Special Needs Pageant Facebook page. You may also call Area-14 Special Olympic office, Co-Directors Kathy Schofield and Tessa Hilley at 864- 260-4142. 

Thank you and we hope to see you there.
