FROM OUR DIRECTOR

Talofa lava!

UTOPIA Washington is proud to present Miss Island Goddess 2026 on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the
Muckleshoot Casino Resort.

Each year, the Miss Island Goddess Pageant brings together hundreds of people from near and far to
celebrate the brilliance and resilience of our Queer and Trans Pacific Islander community. It is a
gathering that honors culture, beauty, and storytelling affirming who we are and where we come from.
Miss Island Goddess is a celebration of visibility, belonging, and the joy that guides our journey.

Since 2009, UTOPIA Washington has been a home for Queer and Trans Pacific Islanders, supporting
youth, adults, and elders in every stage of life. For over 15 years, we have created spaces of safety and
healing, provided critical resources and advocacy, and uplifted leadership that centers community
power. As the only organization in Washington dedicated to Queer and Trans Pacific Islanders,
UTOPIA remains a place where people can find care, strength, and the tools to thrive.

The Miss Island Goddess beauty pageant is one of the ways we carry this mission forward. With your
support, we provide health and safety resources, strengthen harm reduction efforts, and host cultural
celebrations that honor the dignity of our people. Sponsorship is more than financial support, it is a
commitment to ensure that our communities have the space, care, and recognition they deserve.
We invite you to join us by sponsoring Miss Island Goddess 2026. Together, we can create an
unforgettable evening that honors the beauty of our culture and strengthens the future of Queer and
Trans Pacific Islanders.

WHY SPONSOR?

When you sponsor Miss Island Goddess, you are supporting more than a single night. You are sustaining a movement. Your sponsorship directly funds health care, harm reduction, food access, leadership development, and cultural programming for Queer and Trans Pacific Islanders across
Washington.

Miss Island Goddess is our only major fundraiser of the year. The funds raised make it possible to carry out our programs year-round, feeding families, providing critical health care, creating safe spaces for youth, and protecting our most vulnerable. Every contribution is an investment in
community care and survival.

The impact is immediate and profound. Audience members have shared that this is the first space where they feel safe and fully themselves. Youth see role models they never had. Families and allies leave inspired by the strength and resilience of our people. Miss Island Goddess is more than a stage. It is community transformation in action.

Sponsorship also offers meaningful visibility. The pageant draws hundreds of attendees and thousands more online. It has become one of the most recognized and prestigious cultural events for Queer and Trans Pacific Islanders in the region.

As the reigning Miss Island Goddess 2026, Dezonikah Michealz said, “Miss Island Goddess is not just about the crown. It is about showing the world that our people are here, we are beautiful, and we belong.” Sponsors are not only recognized during the event. They become part of the legacy of love, strength, and community that Miss Island Goddess represents.

Join us in making Miss Island Goddess 2026, a night that uplifts our people and strengthens the work that continues long after the final spotlight fades.
