2022 Courage & Confidence Awards

The Courage & Confidence Awards is an annual fundraiser by Bowtie Kids in Wilton Manors, FL, to benefit kids with chronic pain. ​It highlights those who are willing to be courageous and confident in taking on their own lives as they advocate for the lives of others.


2022 Event Co-Hosts

Along with honoring the awardees, we will have live performances and two fashion shows designed to inspire courage and confidence by challenging the social norms of beauty and fashion.


This fundraiser allows kids and community leaders to express themselves fully. It is an excellent opportunity for kids to fully embrace themselves as we encourage them to choose their outfits to model for the show.


It’s an inspiring, powerful event where community enthusiasts, supporters, advocates, and philanthropists come to celebrate awardees for their impact on the community and cheer on our courageous models—a night of empowerment promoting self-acceptance self-expression as truth.
