The Miss Latina Hawaii Scholarship Pageant is in it’s first year and we have the honor of being a preliminary pageant for the Miss Hawaii/Miss America Organization. There are so many people who have helped us this year. First and foremost we would like to thank God, for without him none of this would be possible. Also a big thank you goes out to the support of many important Individuals and Organizations including our Corporate Sponsors, Scholarship Donors, Directors, Committee Members, Volunteers, Contestants, and Family Members that have made all of this possible.
To Ryan Brown and the Miss Hawaii Organization – thank you for supporting this program. Each and every one of these young ladies have taken on the challenge and have committed themselves to exemplifying what the organization is all about: scholastic achievement, healthy living, community service, and creative accomplishment. Through their participation, the contestants will undoubtedly be rewarded with scholarship opportunities and the development of personal qualities that will allow them to achieve any goal which they set their minds to in the future.

To the 2012 Miss Latina Hawaii Contestants – Congratulations! We are excited as tonight we honor you, all your time, hard work, and dedication. Go ahead and SHINE on the stage tonight. We are so very proud of you all.
