Community Initiatives
Project Grandma
There is a quiet loneliness that lives in many nursing homes and assisted living centers—a loneliness felt by seniors who once rocked babies, kissed scraped knees, packed lunches, and prayed over families who have now grown and moved on. Project Grandma was created to remind them they are never forgotten.
Through Project Grandma, Baby Miss America children visit nursing homes and assisted living facilities, bringing smiles, hugs, laughter, and simple moments of connection that touch the soul. A small hand held in a wrinkled one. A shared laugh. A song, a story, a gentle conversation. These moments may be brief, but their impact is lasting.
For the children, Project Grandma teaches compassion, empathy, and respect for those who came before them. They learn that kindness doesn’t require grand gestures—sometimes it’s as simple as showing up, listening, and caring.
Project Grandma bridges generations, healing hearts on both sides. It brings sunshine into quiet rooms and reminds us all that love has no age, no expiration date, and no boundaries.
Project Back the Blue
Behind every badge is a hero who stands in the gap—running toward danger while others run away. Project Back the Blue was created to teach children the power of gratitude, respect, and courage by honoring the men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to protect our families and communities.
Project Back the Blue helps children understand that police officers are not just uniforms or sirens—they are heroes, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, neighbors and protectors. By teaching children to honor authority and recognize sacrifice, we are shaping a generation rooted in respect, empathy, and gratitude.
For officers, these visits are moments of encouragement that touch the heart. For children, they are lessons in courage and compassion that last a lifetime.
Because heroes deserve to be seen.
Because service deserves to be honored.
Because gratitude can change hearts—on both sides of the badge.
Project Princess
Project Princess was born from a simple but powerful belief: every child deserves to feel seen, cherished, and crowned with hope—especially in life’s hardest moments. When childhood is interrupted by illness, fear, or uncertainty, Project Princess steps in to restore joy, confidence, and magic where it is needed most.
Through hospital visits and Princess Days, children are wrapped in love and imagination—welcomed into a world where they are no longer patients, but princes, princesses, and heroes. With crowns placed gently on their heads and courage honored with gold medals of bravery, these children are reminded that they are strong, beautiful, and never alone.
In 2025, Project Princess found its very first royal heart in Brielle Bird of Malad, Idaho.
Brielle was chosen as the First-Ever Project Princess not simply for wearing a crown, but for embodying everything Project Princess stands for—grace, courage, compassion, and a heart that shines even in the face of adversity. Brielle’s journey touched hearts far beyond her hometown, reminding us all that true royalty is found in kindness, resilience, and the ability to lift others when life is heavy.
As the inaugural Project Princess, Brielle became a symbol of hope—for children fighting battles too big for their young hearts, for families searching for light, and for a movement rooted in love and faith. Her story marked the beginning of something beautiful: a promise that no child facing hardship will ever be forgotten.
Project Princess is more than a program—it is a mission of healing, a celebration of bravery, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, magic still exists.
And because of Brielle Bird, the crown of Project Princess will forever stand for courage, compassion, and the power of a child’s light to change the world.
Every princess deserves her moment.
Every child deserves to feel royal.
And every brave heart deserves to be celebrated.
Project Baby Miss Smarty Pants - Princess of Educational Excellence
Project Baby Miss Smarty Pants – Princess of Educational Excellence is a heart-centered initiative created to celebrate one of the greatest gifts we can give a child: the ability to read.
Reading is far more than recognizing words on a page — it is the key that unlocks imagination, confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. When a child learns to read at a very young age, an entire world opens before them: magical adventures, far-away lands, heroic journeys, and endless possibilities. Books become doorways to creativity, critical thinking, empathy, and self-belief.
Through Project Baby Miss Smarty Pants, children are encouraged to discover that reading is joyful and empowering. Early literacy builds strong vocabulary, sharper comprehension, better communication skills, and a natural desire to learn. Most importantly, it lays a solid foundation for academic confidence and a love of education that can last a lifetime.
The very first Baby Miss Smarty Pants – Princess of Educational Excellence was crowned in 2016: Emma Lynn Brown of Shore Acres, Texas. Her title marked the beginning of this meaningful mission to spotlight the importance of early childhood literacy and educational excellence.
Emma’s story beautifully reflects the purpose of this program. She went on to win the Baby Miss America 2017 National Title, proving that when a child is encouraged to learn, dream, and believe in herself, there is no limit to what she can achieve.
At Baby Miss America, crowns may sparkle — but knowledge shines forever.
Project Baby Miss Smarty Pants reminds us that when you teach a child to read, you don’t just teach words…
you open the world.
