Kelsey's community service project is entitled, "The Superhero in You". The project helps to create "superhero capes" which are presented to encourage and empower children who are overcoming health issues and literacy challenges.
Kelsey's Mom, Laura Earley, says that Miss Maine, Kelsey, has had lots of help from the Lebanon Girl Scout troops, and that soon, the Scouts will be gearing up to help create more of Kelsey's special Superhero capes! Laura also says that Kelsey is always looking for sewers interested in helping to create the capes, and would love to hear from anyone interested in volunteering!
Any of the 52 Miss America Pageant contestants are eligible for this scholarship award, with the college dollars going to the top 3 contestants. "Applicants must excel in their commitment to enhancing the quality of life of others through volunteerism and community service," says the Miss America media page. "Special attention is also given to depth of service, project creativity, and significant effects on the lives of others."
Please be sure to tune in, September 13, 2015 beginning at 9 pm on your ABC channel and cheer along as Kelsey competes for the Miss America Title from Atlantic City, New Jersey!!
