In March, Evie will compete as the youngest finalist for the World International Royalty pageant.

As part of the required preparation for the event, Evie is expected to spend some time giving back to her community of Sunbury.

Evie’s mother Kylie Stephenson said as happy as she is to see her daughter making friends and finding passion through pageantry, she’s most excited to have the opportunity to teach her four-year-old daughter the importance of generosity.

“I think it is the perfect age for her to learn,” Kylie said.

“At this age she’s such a sponge, she asks questions about what we’re doing and I think it will make her happy to know she’s helping others.”

After asking for advice on where to start in a community Facebook page, Kylie was meant with comments of people congratulating Evie and suggesting activities, such as litter pick-ups and assisting at local aged care facilities.

Evie will compete at the World International Royalty pageant on March 6.

“If you see Little Miss around town wearing her sash, feel free to say hi, she loves talking to people at the shops,” Kylie said.
