HeartShine's Christmas Caroling Tour to Senior Homes & Hospitals

Blanket Drive - both for donations to local animal shelters and for lap blankets gifts during our Christmas Caroling Tour

However, our Candyland Queens are not obligated to attend a certain minimum amount of service or appearances during their year's reign.
As a HeartShine titleholder, winners can choose to get involved in HeartShine's annual community service and events calendar which includes opportunities to serve at local and national charitable organizations, attend fun Sisterhood activities like our annual day in Disneyland, and so much more!
