THE FOLLOWING IS AN AMERICAN ELEGANCE PRINCESS AND MS AMERICAN ELEGANCE RELEASE
CHAMPAIGN & VERMILION COUNTIES, IL — Elevating community leadership, grace, and philanthropic service, 11 Queen Delegates and 13 Princess Delegates from Champaign and Vermilion counties are set to travel to Carol Stream, Illinois, from November 12 to 15 to represent Central Illinois at the national competition for American Elegance Princess and Ms. American Elegance.
In addition to preparing for the national stage, these delegates have actively championed meaningful philanthropic causes. Their primary national platform is Mission K9 Warrior, an organization dedicated to pairing combat veterans battling PTSD with service dogs. In addition to raising funds and awareness for Mission K9 Warrior, delegates proudly wear the colors of Purple and Pink to represent their commitment to Domestic Violence Awareness and Breast Cancer Awareness.
“We are immensely proud of these extraordinary delegates as they embark on this national journey,” said Makayla Peterson, Volunteer Board Member and former Ms American Elegance. “Beyond their preparation for the stage, their dedication to Mission K9 Warrior, domestic violence awareness, and breast cancer awareness reflects the heart of true leadership and service in our communities.”
