PRETTY stands for Powerful, Responsible, Excellent, Thoughtful, Trained Young Ladies

 

Our first banquet was in 2017. In 2018, we moved the date to the fall; but, due to the storm, we decided to use the resources to help people displaced by Hurricane Florence. We resumed the banquet in 2019; and, due to COVID, we canceled the banquet in 2020 and 2021. We resumed the annual banquet in 2022 and this is our 4th PRETTY GIRLS ROCK banquet. In honor of International Women's Month, the banquet will be held in March.

​

We honor women in the community who empower, encourage and inspire young ladies to be the best version of themselves. These women are nominated by others in the community.  Everyone can probably attest that there has been a woman in their lives who made a ripple in their flow.   Essentially, someone who inspired, encouraged, or empowered them to change directions and eventually become the best version of themselves.  These women are not always recipients of   well- known awards or often ever acknowledged; but the impact they make on so many lives is genuine.  The purpose of the PRETTY Girls Rock banquet is to honor these w omen.  Women who interrupt their lives to be an encourager for others.  These women help remind us that EVERY girl is a PRETTY Girl.
