Hi! I'm Lily Donaldson, Miss Franklin County 2022, and I am raising money for the Miss America Foundation as a part of the Miss America 2022 competition.
The Miss America Organization’s mission is to prepare great women for the world and to prepare the world for great women. One of the ways they do that is by providing scholarships—from the national competition, all the way to our local communities.
I've been participating in the Miss America (and Miss America's Outstanding Teen) programs since 2015!
Lily, Miss Mid-South's Outstanding Teen 2016, and other MAO titleholders at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital for holiday donations in 2015.
Lily, Miss Franklin County 2022 at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital for holiday donations in 2021!
Through Miss America, I've earned scholarships, served my local communities, practiced invaluable life skills like public speaking and interviewing, and been given a platform to showcase my talents and accomplishments!
At 22 years old, I've earned a B.S. in Computer Science from American University and an M.S. in Lighting from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and I'm currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Built Ecologies/Agricultural Technologies from RPI. I've worked as a software developer for the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy, and DC NASA Space Grant Consortium, and I founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called Art Technically (arttechnically.org) that promotes STEM and Arts education for K-12 students! I wouldn't be where I am today without the Miss America program; Miss America has taught me communication skills, empathy and community service, confidence, and creativity!
Will you support and share my campaign to support the Miss America Foundation today? No donation is too small to help young women across the country grow and succeed!
