Beauty with a Purpose
VARIETY: THE CHILDREN'S CHARITY
Miss World Australia
I have recently been selected as a Western Australian Preliminary Finalist for Miss World Australia 2024.
Miss World aims to promote Beauty with a Purpose to encourage women to live a compassionate and humanitarian life. Charity work is integral to the Miss World ethos and part of the brief to contenders in each country is that they volunteer their time and fundraise within their communities.

BEAUTY WITH
A PURPOSE
Miss World Australia is a proud and passionate partner of Variety, the Children’s Charity. Variety aims to raise awareness and funds for children across our nation who are sick, disadvantaged and disabled.
I am enthusiastic about creating awareness for such an honourable cause in our community and hope you will join me on my Beauty with a Purpose journey with Miss World Australia. Your commitment to such a fantastic cause will make a life changing impact in many children’s lives within our community and across our state.

HOW AM I SUPPORTING
VARIETY?
One of the main reasons I chose to nominate for Miss World Australia was because the organasiation supports a children’s charity.
Variety provides essential support for children who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with disability, through the provision of timely grants, programs, scholarships, and experiences.
I am new to the Miss World program and am currently busy planning fundraising events. I have volunteered to assist children living with physical disabilities in sport in the past. This is why I support Variety’s vision for all Australian children to attain their full potential, regardless of ability or background.
I invite you to join me in supporting this most worthy cause to reach the fundraising goal together.
