Gianna Capri, a 10-year-old from Ormond Beach, won the Little Miss North Florida title, representing Volusia County with distinction. Her victory is not just a personal achievement but a stepping stone to further her charitable work through Michael's Ohana, a tribute to her late uncle. Capri's talents extend beyond pageantry to gymnastics and dance, and she is known for her entertaining impressions. The Miss North Florida Scholarship Organization, which supports young women's leadership and educational goals, has awarded over $20,000 in scholarships since its inception in 2021.
