OUR VISION
ITS SIMPLE
The Immokalee Cattle Drive Scholarship Pageant was created to honor our roots, invest in the next generation, and give young women a space to grow in confidence, leadership, and pride in where they come from.
Our Story
The pageant began as a way to celebrate the legacy of the Immokalee Cattle Drive. Our Vice President, Heather Howell Cleckler, serves as Cattle Boss of the drive and is part of the historic Roberts family, whose homestead is now the Immokalee Pioneer Museum at Roberts Ranch.
Inspired by the heritage of the Roberts family and the traditions of our community, we created the scholarship pageant to provide opportunities for young women to grow as leaders, earn scholarship funds, and represent Immokalee with pride.
