::PAGEANT INFO::

BACKGROUND

The Miss Chicago Chinatown Pageant is held every 2 years is presented by the Chicago Chinese American Civic Council's (C.A.C.C.), therefore the reigning Queen's term is 2 years. Although the Miss Chicago Chinatown Pageant has been around for decades, its web presence started in 1998, so that is why you only see past pageants beginning with 1998.

ABOUT C.A.C.C.

The Chinese American Civic Council (C.A.C.C.) is a Nonprofit Tax Exempt Organization (501c) that has been providing service to the Chinese Community for nearly 50 years. During the early 1950's, our efforts were mostly related to providing service to new immigrants and assisting those with limited English speaking ability. Our bilingual volunteers, therefore, channeled their efforts to helping those individuals.

The Officers and Directors of the Chinese American Civic Council have always served on a voluntary basis without compensation. Our operating expenses have always depended on contributions, membership dues and fund raising.

Your continued support at such important fund raising at the Chinese New Year's Dinner and, of course, the Miss Chicago Chinatown Pageant has enabled the organization to continue its service to the community.
