Corporate Turks and Caicos Urged to Support Adesha Gustave’s Miss International Journey

Pageant organiser Sharlene Grant Richardson said financial and in-kind contributions are needed to help cover the significant costs associated with Gustave’s participation on the international stage.

Expenses include round-trip airfare, international travel and baggage fees for her extensive wardrobe. Funding is also needed for evening gowns, interview attire and sportswear styled to meet international judging standards.

The appeal will also support the creation of a custom national costume showcasing the culture and heritage of the Turks and Caicos Islands. A cultural artifact or specially curated item must also be provided as the country’s national gift for the pageant’s annual charity auction in Tokyo.

Organisers said corporate sponsors will benefit from brand alignment with initiatives connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, along with media exposure and official social-media recognition.

The Miss International Pageant offers Gustave an opportunity to promote the Turks and Caicos Islands, celebrate the country’s culture and strengthen its presence on the global stage.

Businesses and individuals wishing to provide financial or in-kind support may contact National Director Charlene Richards via WhatsApp at 232-7551, by telephone at 344-0003, or by email at missinternationaltci@gmail.com.
