Sungoddess
Program
The Sungoddess program began in 1955 as
the “Goddess of the Sun.”
The program was created by the Suncoasters and the Festival of
States as a scholarship program, to honor young women in Pinellas
County who are academically successful, support their community
through volunteerism, and embody the values and poise to represent
the Festival and the City of St. Petersburg as goodwill ambassadors
at various events throughout the year.
The Sungoddess receives a $2,500
scholarship from Bayfront Health Systems who will match up to $1,000
of any additional donations to the Sungoddess Scholarship.
Up to 14 finalists are selected for the
Court and participate in the St. Petersburg Festival of States,
including the:
Annual Kids & Kubs softball game
The Kids & Kubs are a world-renowned St. Petersburg softball league
for players 75 and older. They were founded in 1930 and have played
every season through the Great Depression, World War II and into
modern times.

Festival of States. For additional information on our upcoming
