The Miss Arc Broward pageant is a competition for children and teens with special needs. These young women get the chance to perform onstage for hundreds of audience members, fighting any stereotypes that people might have about disabilities.
Arc Broward’s mission is to transform the community by providing opportunities for people with disabilities and other life challenges to realize their full potential. Since 1956, Arc Broward has worked hand-in-hand with our community, changing how people with developmental disabilities and life challenges are embraced and included. This critical work ensures that people with disabilities, not only live, learn, work, and play in their communities, but more importantly, thrive.
I had the pleasure of being a “judge” for this year’s Miss Arc Broward Pageant. However, it was a tough job because all of the lovely ladies were truly incredible and inspiring. Congratulations to Layla and Nola for being crowned the new Miss Arc Broward and Little Miss Arc Broward 2019!
