From Mason City to Nationals!
My name is Keslea Stille, and I am an 8-year-old Mason City native who has dedicated the past two years to growing as a confident, kind, and community-minded young leader through the National American Miss (NAM) program! Last year, I had an incredible experience competing at National American Miss Nationals, where I was honored to represent our great state of Iowa. I placed 4th Runner-Up in the nation, was named the National Actress Winner, and received multiple additional awards recognizing my spirit, leadership, and stage performance. This year, I could not compete for a State Queen title since I was part of the outgoing royalty at the Iowa State Pageant—but I am so excited to return to the national stage this November as a City Queen (Mason City) in the National All-American Miss competition in Orlando, Florida! Being part of NAM has helped me grow in confidence, leadership, and community service. I am always proud to volunteer to speak at my school, help at local community events, and serve others whenever I can. I even created my own service project in honor of my grandpa’s leukemia survival and my friend Saige’s journey with leukemia called “Colors of Comfort.” Through Colors of Comfort, I create rainbow necklaces and share Saige’s “The Brave Team” books with pediatric cancer patients across the United States to help them find faith in a colorful tomorrow. I have already donated to 32 states, and my goal is to reach all 50 before the end of the year! With your help, I hope to continue spreading joy while proudly putting Mason City on the national stage. I am currently seeking community sponsors and donations to help cover my national entry fees, and travel expenses. As a state queen the core fees are covered but for all American they are not. Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference and helps me continue to represent Mason City and North Iowa as a whole with pride. ? All donations made on the NAM Portal link or by check are tax-deductible, as National American Miss (NAM) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. ? Sponsors will also be recognized on my social-media pages, and my “Support Local Queens” thank-you campaign following Nationals. ? Donations are tax-deductible through the official NAM portal: Or, if it’s easier, you can also send support through: ?? Venmo: @taylorstille_7 ?? PayPal: tnuehring07@gmail.com I promise to continue making Mason City proud and to represent our community with kindness, hard work, and heart. Thank you so much for considering helping me chase my dreams and shine for both Mason City and Iowa on the national stage next month! With love and sparkle, ??
