More Than Just a Pageant

Miss DIVA is the signature annual fundraising event and pageant organized by the Dallas Independent Volleyball Association (DIVA). Established in 1990, it blends friendly competition with community philanthropy, serving as one of the league's most significant opportunities to give back to the local Dallas LGBTQ+ community.

Competitive Fundraising

Contestants don't just walk the runway; they race to raise funds. 40% of their score comes from community donations.

Creative Categories

From talent to evening gown, expect drag performances, elaborate costumes, and high-energy entertainment.

Community Spirit

Queens trade their court sneakers for high heels to raise funds to support the Dallas Resource Center Food Pantry to support food insecurity in the Dallas area.

Serving Our Neighbors

Since it’s inception, Miss DIVA proceeds benefit the Dallas Resource Center Food Pantry. This designation honors the legacy of our co-founder, ensuring we tackle food insecurity in the Dallas area head-on.
