On March 6-8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, Autumn Sage will be competing in the Junior Miss America Beauty Pageant. She currently holds the title of Junior Miss Eastern America. She will be up against ten to fifteen other girls in the categories of Swimsuit, Beauty, Runway, Interview, and Spokesmodel.
Autumn's platform is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. To raise money for her cause, she holds a pageant of her own. The pageant's name is Hope for a Cure. She plans on going to the hospital over the summer to draw pictures with the kids. This love to be with the kids all started because of "Mr. Strong," Thomas Musser; his story touched her heart and made her want to become a pediatric nurse at St. Jude.
She started pageants when she was two months old. "This has always been something mom and I can bond over," she says. She loves to do pageants because she gets to play dress-up. She also notes that it was very hard to make it to this point in her pageant career, saying, "I had to learn how to do interviews and walk in heels."
She is hoping to win Junior Miss America. If she wins, she will hold her title for a year, perform 200 hours of community service, and get to watch the Miss Virginia pageant.
If you see Autumn around school, wish her luck on her upcoming competition.
