Simone has served in leadership roles with several cultural and community organizations, including the Museum of Fine Arts, the Salvador Dalí Museum, the Junior League of St. Petersburg, Studio@620, and more.

Congratulations to this year’s Queen and Court:

👑 Queen Paula Blanda

These remarkable women were celebrated for their leadership, service, and volunteerism across Pinellas County. Proceeds from the event benefited Selah Freedom, Inc. and Hero to A Child (formerly the Guardian ad Litem Foundation of Tampa Bay).

Thank you to the 2025 Queen’s Court for your inspiring dedication to making our community stronger.


About the Queen of Hearts Ball
Founded 65 years ago, the Queen of Hearts Ball and Royal Court were established to honor women who demonstrate exemplary service and volunteerism in Pinellas County. Each year, dozens of charitable and social organizations are invited to nominate one woman whose dedication to their cause stands above all others. From these nominees, six outstanding women are selected as Princesses to serve on the Queen’s Royal Court.
