Sparkle USA pageants are held for girls ages 4 and up and have seven different age divisions. Brianna will be participating in the pre-teen age division along with other outstanding young ladies from across the great state of Pennsylvania.

Sparkle USA pageants are unlike any other. All activities and competitions are kept age- appropriate. Girls under the age of 12 are not allowed to wear make-up, and there is no swimsuit competition. The pageant program is based on inner beauty, as well as poise and presentation, and offers and emphasis is put on the importance of developing self-confidence, learning good sportsmanship, and setting and achieving personal goals.

Sobeck’s activities include cheerleading, wrestling on an all-boys wrestling team, Girl Scouts, CCD, choir, school and church. She also enjoys volunteering her time to local walks and organizations. She has started her own girl’s club, “ESTEEM,” focusing on feeling good about yourself. Sobeck’s sponsors include her parents, four brothers, family and friends. She adores animals of all kinds and one day she plans to obtain a degree working with horses.

Sobeck is age 11 and will be attending 6th grade at Pleasant Hills Middle School in the fall.
