Volunteer Service Recognition

The Community Service title will go to the contestant with the highest combined number of Community Service hours volunteered within the last year and is chosen after Supreme Winners have been selected.

The Community Service Award competition is open to all currently registered contestants ages 6 and up. All contestants who enter the Community Service Award competition and submit a minimum of 26 hours of service will be recognized with a special award. Volunteer activities can be done anywhere, not just for the Humane Society.

Winner receives a unique rhinestone crown, embroidered satin sash, a special gift bag, and is considered a part of the new Cause for Paws Pageant Royalty. This title does not double crown.
