7. ABOUT MISS AMAZING
The first Miss Amazing Pageant was held in Omaha, NE in 2007.
In 2010, the Teen Nick HALO Award granted the program $25,000
and a feature on Teen Nickelodeon, making it possible for the
program to gain 501(c)(3) non-profit status and nationwide
exposure. The Miss Amazing Pageant is now held in 30 states and
Miss Amazing Inc. and has touched the lives of 800 girls and
women with disabilities to date.
When she was just thirteen years old, Jordan Somer
had a desire to provide the opportunities that she had
received through pageantry for the female athletes that
she met at the Special Olympics. That year, she
coordinated the first Miss Amazing Pageant in her
hometown of Omaha, NE and became hooked. Jordan
held the Miss Amazing Pageant on an annual basis and,
upon receiving a Teen Nick HALO Award in 2010, began
using her newfound resources to expand the program to
other states. Jordan has been honored with the
President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, a Daily Points
of Light Award, and a Silver Prudential Spirit of
Community Award and was selected to be in the top 30
of L’Oreal Paris’ 2014 Women of Worth for her work with
Miss Amazing.
