  All State Queens have the opportunity to collect "signatures for scholarships." Each signature line represents a $5 donation. Have the person making the donation sign a line for each $5 they are donating. By collecting just 30 "signatures for scholarships" (that one full page), your crown turns to round. This helps allow us to award scholarships/prizes at the state pageant

The more money that is raised, the more scholarships we can award at the state and the national pageant
