Dear Miss New York friends,
Wow, what an exciting year it’s been with the Miss New York Organization, and we’re only two months in!
As you know, one week ago, our very own Cassie Donegan became the eighth woman from New York to become Miss America! We could not be more thrilled for Cassie in this incredible accomplishment, and we are so excited to witness her year, reaching people across our country with radiance and warmth. Follow along: @missamerica @cassiedonegan
And of course this means, we have a new Miss New York to celebrate! Please join me in congratulating Lauren Norris, who as of today will assume the role of Miss New York 2025!
Lauren is a full-time YouTuber and social media influencer—bringing a skillset that will have a huge impact on our organization this year, especially with our growing partnership with New York Tourism! Her social impact initiative is 1 in 10 Endometriosis Awareness, and she is a graduate of The University of Alabama. Lauren was Miss Metropolitan at the local level. We can’t wait to follow Lauren’s travels and leadership across our state this year. Follow along: @missamericany @thelaurennorris
There will be a Miss America Homecoming Celebration and Miss New York Crowning in the coming months. Stay connected with our organization’s page @missnewyorkorg for more information.
Go New York!
