JACKSON, Tenn. (June 20, 2025) – The excitement continues tonight at Miss Volunteer America as preliminary competition enters Night Three at the Carl Perkins Civic Center in Jackson, Tennessee.
In addition to recognizing standout performances in Talent and Fitness & Wellness, two prestigious scholarships will be presented:
- The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Scholarship
- The Salvation Army Doing the Most Good Scholarship Award
These special awards honor contestants who exemplify the spirit of service, compassion, and leadership—core values at the heart of Miss Volunteer America’s mission.
“This evening is about more than competition—it’s about celebrating the heart of our mission,” said Allison DeMarcus, Founder and CEO. “These scholarships honor young women who embody what it truly means to serve and inspire others.”
Reigning Miss Volunteer America Berkley Bryant, who has served as National Ambassador for St. Jude and The Salvation Army, will help present the awards.
During her reign, Berkley has traveled over 60,000 miles, sharing a message of hope and purpose across the country.
With more than $125,000 in scholarships and prizes awarded throughout the week and a $4.5 million annual economic impact to the Jackson community, Miss Volunteer America continues to provide life-changing opportunities for young women nationwide.
The pageant concludes Saturday, June 21, when Berkley will crown her successor live from the Carl Perkins Civic Center.
