The Greater Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce Pageant Committee hosted an evening social last week at Venue 132, welcoming 15 young women who will be vying for an opportunity to represent Dowagiac and earn scholarships.
The Miss Dowagiac Scholarship Pageant will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2025, and continues a longstanding pageant tradition in the Dowagiac community. The event, in its 84th year, continues the mission of mentoring young women in presentation, communication and interview skills that serve to build confidence and life skills.
A Give Back Night will be held on Thursday, November 14, at Pizza Hut in Dowagiac. The restaurant, located at 55215 M 51 N, will donate a portion of proceeds from dine in, carry out and delivery orders, placed between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., to the Miss Dowagiac Scholarship Fund.
“The Pageant Committee is appreciative of the ongoing generosity of individuals and businesses in our community,” stated Pageant Director Sara Lawrence. “Donations help fund the college of choice scholarships that will be awarded to Miss Dowagiac and Court of Honor 2025.”
The first pageant ticket sale will be held Saturday, November 16, 2024, at the Theta Mu Craft Show taking place at Dowagiac Middle School, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by cash or check only, and are $15 each. Checks should be made payable to the Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce.
Tickets will also be sold Saturday, December 14, 2024, from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce office, located inside Dowagiac’s train station. Again, only cash or checks will be accepted.
Those who wish to make a donation to the Miss Dowagiac Scholarship Fund can donate online at dowagiacchamber.com, navigate to the event calendar and Miss Dowagiac Scholarship Pageant event page. Donations received by November 25 will be listed in the pageant program list of donors.
