| Founded by
Rose Chung, the Miss Asian America Pageant
has been the premier event in Asian American community for the
past two decades and the longest running Asian American pageant
in the United States. Since 1985, the Miss Asian America
Pageant has expanded to an internationally recognized
event with regional competitions nationwide.
Today, the Miss Asian America Pageant continues
its active participation in nationwide events. From their
partnership with the American Legion, the nation's largest
veteran's organization, to participation in America's largest
Chinese New Year celebration held in San Francisco annually,
the pageant continues its positive representation of the Asian
American community.
Celebrating "Elegance,
Beauty, and Culture," the Miss Asian America
Pageant is proud to have contributed thousands to
community causes and continues to be one of the largest scholarship
providers for Asian American women nationwide. Proceeds from
the event have been donated to Asian Perinatal Advocates,
a nationally recognized child abuse/domestic violence prevention
program and most recently, all event merchandise sales have
benefited the Stanford University Asian Liver Center in an
effort to fight Hepatitis B in the Asian American community.
Since its inception, the Miss Asian
America Pageant has been more than a platform for
the growth and inspiration of young Asian America women, it
has also been about building a strong community for Asian
America.
