The S.H.I.N.E Platform's Mission

There is a purpose for all of us. Every individual has the capacity to S.H.I.N.E (Share, Help, Inspire, Nurture, Encourage)
Our true beauty is the light within all of us. Our light guides us through the darkest of hours. By joining together, our
communities, country, and world can be a brighter place. In the midst of war, violence, and wake of other diasters, America
needs to be reminded of all of those who are dedicated to spreading cheer and hope. A cheerleader can effectively lead a crowd
in support of a team, become an important leadership force on campus, and generate spirit and pride within a community. Our
goal is to literally "Cheer Up America", with a reign of goodwill. While pep leaders are part of a larger squad,
their individual self expression and strengths should not be overlooked. It is the mission of Tiara Productions through the
Miss Varsity USA pageant to provide a healthy, glamourous, and exciting opportunity for spirit leaders to shine their light,
discover their real beauty and empower others to do the same.
