Weyburn Comprehensive School Grade 12 students, Brooklyn Rinas, Teagan Morrison and Sami Campbell will travel to Saskatoon to participate in the regional competition for the Miss Teen Canada-World pageant in February.
This year's pageant participants have the option to use their platform to raise awareness and funds for children suffering from congenital heart disease.
The girls will do this by raising funds for the charitable organization, Cardiac Kids, which supports children and staff of the cardiology ward at the Hospital for Sick Children.
In the coming weeks the girls will be raising money by rallying local businesses and individuals to donate to Cardiac Kids.
"By donating money you would not only be helping the Cardiac Kids but you would be helping me as well," said Rinas.
For every $100 donated the girls will be awarded with one point that will be added to their overall score, "which will be a huge advantage," said Rinas.
Morrison is considering going door-to-door to raise money and Campbell plans to talk to businesses in the community.
Whoever raises the most money in Saskatchewan will automatically be given the opportunity to go to nationals, representing Saskatchewan.
The fact that Campbell, along with two of her friends, were chosen to compete in Saskatoon makes her laugh.
"I thought it was kind of weird how there are three of us - and we are friends too that made it."
All three girls saw the competition on Facebook. Seeing it on Facebook, Rinas thought, "well, I'll give it a shot," she continued. "It turned out that I got accepted and they asked me to do a Skype interview."
After the interview Rinas got more excited, as she looked more into the competition. "It's a good cause for girls to feel confident, because you don't have to be super skinny or super tall to be doing it."
The judges are looking for girls with personality and confidence. Rinas believes this why she was chosen to compete in the Saskatchewan competition.
Campbell added, "I think (we were chosen) because we were genuine people and had the guts to put ourselves out there, even though there will be people in our school who think it's a stupid thing."
Although the girls may be ridiculed by jealous classmates, the opinions that matter - their friends and family - are all positive.
"I think they are more excited than I am. They are always texting me, asking if I want help finding a dress and encouraging me to find a good one," said Campbell.
The pageant experience begins on Feb. 23 when the girls will participate in a workshop, which is scheduled to give the contestants more confidence in the different aspects of the pageant.
The next day, on Feb. 24, will be the pageant itself. The first stage of the competition the ladies will be in a formal gown competition.
The second stage is the bathing suit competition, judged on the health and fitness of the competitors. In the third the participants will dress in a secretary outfit and the host will interview them.
Asked what aspect of the competition Rinas is looking forward to, she said she is excited to wear a dress and working with the choreographer.
"We are working with a choreographer who has worked with Christina Aguilera, so that will be interesting."
Although Morrison is a tad nervous about being interviewed by the judges and having to dress up, she thinks it should be fun.
"I could get nervous and trip, you never know. But, I'll be fine."
For Morrison along with performing, the fundraising aspect is a big reason why she entered the competition.
"I like performing, so it kind of interested me in that way and I also want to do something that is bigger than Weyburn and help the world give younger girls someone to look up to."
Campbell is excited about growing confidence from the competition. "I have always been a shy person, so that is my biggest thing."
The competition will give the girls the chance to present their own style.
"I want to be unique because I am kind of really out there. I'll try to stand out in a positive way," said Campbell.
