OUR MISSION Beyond talent and beauty, the Miss Wilton Founders Day Pageant represents the ideals of our community. We encourage healthy living, self-confidence, creative accomplishment, community service, and the pursuit of scholastic achievement among young women. Our goal is to inspire, motivate, and lift young women to the realization that they are strong, independent, capable young ladies who can accomplish anything they set their minds to. We want to provide a platform for contestants to develop confidence, public speaking skills, and leadership skills. We hope that each of these young contestants in our community come away with more than just a title. We hope they see that the effects of a positive attitude, self-respect, respect for others, and the fulfillment of knowing that they are good role models will last much longer than beauty or a crown.
