ORLANDO, Florida – January 5, 2025
Abbie Stockard, Miss America 2025, is a 22-year-old dancer and choreographer born and raised in Alabama. She is a senior at Auburn University, a member of the Tiger Paws Dance Team, and a student at Auburn University’s College of Nursing, which is now to be funded by $89,000 in scholarships awarded through the Miss America Opportunity, administered by Miss America’s Scholarship Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization.
Abbie is no stranger to Capitol Hill, having collaborated with state and national political leaders to pass impactful legislation. Going forward, she plans to leverage this experience to amplify her advocacy for Healthy Children/Healthy Futures for All and demonstrate that women are a force for positive change. In alignment with Miss America’s philanthropic partnerships, Abbie has raised over $5,000 for the American Heart Association (AHA) and was recognized with an AHA Go Red for Women Leadership Award distinction at the Miss America 2025 Competition.
A lifelong advocate for healthy children, and especially initiatives that address Cystic Fibrosis (CF) inspired by her best friend, Abbie has been named the “2024 Hero of Hope” by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. During her year of service as Miss America she will serve as a National Ambassador both for American Heart Association as well as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, sharing her powerful story and her strong support of the mission to cure Cystic Fibrosis. Having already raised over $200,000 for CF research, partnered with CF researchers across the country, and spearheaded the largest CF fundraiser in Alabama, Abbie declared: “I will not stop until the ‘CF’ in Cystic Fibrosis stands for Cure Found!”
