In addition, Olivia is president of “Olivia’s Fight for Literacy,” was an officer in Where Everybody Belongs (W.E.B.) organization at Olive Peirce Middle School, and volunteers for Rady Children’s Hospital and the March of Dimes. She will be a freshman at Ramona High School.

The winner of the National American Miss California Pageant will receive a $1,000 cash award, a crown and banner, bouquet of roses, and air transportation to compete in the National Pageant in California, where she will receive a complimentary tour of Hollywood and two VIP tickets to Disneyland®.

National American Miss Pageants are held for girls ages 4 to 18. The organization says it keeps activities and competitions age appropriate, putting an emphasis on developing self-confidence, good sportsmanship, and setting and achieving personal goals.
