Money donated to this fund will be used to fund the Miss Marigold and Jr. Miss Marigold scholarships that are awarded each year. The first goal is to be able to award a $5,000 scholarship to the 2026 Miss Marigold Queen, and any additional money that is raised here will be divided up in a manner to be determined by the pageant committee on an annual basis. This is intended to be an ongoing vehicle for donations and future plans do include fund-raising for this, with the eventual hope of making the Miss Marigold pageant scholarships fully self-sustaining.
