HEALTHY BABY CONTEST HAWAII
Healthy Baby Contest History
The Healthy Baby Contest is an island tradition that has been held every year since 1954 when it was created by the Honolulu Chinese Jaycees. The annual contest is a free event with a light-hearted approach to raising awareness for healthy living in young children. The keiki contestants are judged based on their physical appearance, healthiness, and personality. The Honolulu Chinese Jaycees aims to continue this long tradition for years to come.

The Honolulu Chinese Jaycees (HCJ), founded in 1953 by Dr. Wai Sin Char, is a Section 501(c)(4) non-profit and volunteer-run organization. HCJ focuses on engaging young leaders between the ages of 18-40 and provide training opportunities in leadership and community service management.
Members come from many cultural and professional backgrounds to develop their leadership skills by participating in professional programs, assisting with community service projects and having fun at social and sports activities.

The Honolulu Chinese Jaycees also had the honor of hosting the 1971 and 1997 Junior Chamber International World Congress. These events each brought over six thousand delegates to Hawaii from over 100 countries around the world.
