We are so proud to announce that Alleyanna has been named our 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿! 

Both of our candidates, Alley and Ava, are truly outstanding and inspiring young leaders, making this decision incredibly difficult for our judges.

A huge thank you to our panel of judges for their time, thoughtful deliberation, and dedication to this special event. We are also beyond grateful to the family of Jimmy Olayos Jr. for their generous contribution to the Youth of the Year scholarship in his honor, as well as to our Board of Director Brian Marcucio, who was blown away by our candidates and contributed to their scholarships.
Alleyanna will now move on to the state-level competition this spring, and we can't wait to see her continue to shine!
