Our pageant pairs with organizations from all over the world to give to those in need.This pageant works each year to help raise funds for childhood cancer research. This is why our crowns each hold a gold ribbon in them to represent Childhood Cancer Awareness.

Our mission:

Meet Our Titleholder of the Month
Mr. Global United Braedon Kemp

My name is Braedon Kemp, I am 20 years old and I am from the small town of Brimley, Michigan. I spend my time at the local school substitute teaching or mentoring the robotics team which I have been a part of for nine years. Currently, I am going to school with the ultimate goal of becoming a teacher. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym, play videogames, and browse robotics blogs. A few fun facts about me is that I used to drive robots competitively, I was the first male contestant at Global United, and I can name nearly all 1,025 Pokemon in one sitting.

I am part of Global United to be a force for change. I want to have an effect not only on the children that I interact with at school or at robotics, but the children who are struggling with something greater than what they know. I would never want any of my students to have to endure cancer, and so the thought of being part of a community that works so that no child would have to experience such hardship is an honor and a privilege. My goal while being a part of Global United is to expose men to the program. I want other men to join me in the fight against childhood cancer and prove not only to their peers, but to their fathers, brothers, sons, and nephews that there is no shame in being part of a cause that may not take traditional avenues to execute.

My Global United journey started with my mother and elite lifetime queen Amanda Kemp. Ever since I was young, my mom taught me the values of community service, humility, and humbleness. It was these values that shaped who I was as a person and led me to have not only a love, but a passion for helping others and serving a cause greater than myself. Although I only ran for a title once, it was not without any hiccups. As the first male contestant I wanted to push boundaries of what people thought pageants were about and crush the narrative that they were all about crowns and corsets, because Global United is more than the pageant. Global United is about people uniting under the goal of eliminating childhood cancer no matter their race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Now that the pageant is over, I hope my goal has been realized and that there are more male contestants joining the Global United cause next year.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"The Global United Pageant touches the lives of so many, which is evident when the delegates visit the hospital to provide a special day for the kids with cancer. "...The [gold] sashes are emblematic to the big heart of GOLD that the directors delegates all have."
