I’m Autumn Percival, a Louisiana youth advocate working to improve heart health for children and families. Through my initiative, Raising Kids for a Healthy Future, I teach kids across Louisiana how to build strong, heart‑healthy habits through fun lessons on nutrition, movement, and emotional well‑being. Prevention starts young, and every child I reach helps shape a healthier future for our state.
I proudly volunteer with the American Heart Association, supporting their mission to fight the number one killer of women: heart disease. From Go Red for Women events to community outreach, I’ve seen firsthand how AHA saves lives through education, research, and advocacy. Their work inspires mine, and I’m committed to expanding heart‑health resources for Louisiana families.
I am currently preparing to compete for Miss Louisiana Port City, where I hope to use the title to grow my initiative, reach more schools, and strengthen my partnership with the American Heart Association. Your support helps me continue teaching, create new educational materials, and cover the costs required to compete so I can amplify this mission statewide.
Thank you for helping me empower Louisiana’s next generation to live heart‑healthy lives.
