MISS TEXAS LEGACY SOCIETY
Do you have a favorite memory of a former candidate? Is there a funny story that still makes you laugh from competition week? Would you enjoy networking with the extended Miss Texas family members from the past and present?


The Miss Texas Legacy Society celebrates those who have shaped the Miss Texas Organization, preserves our history and expands networking opportunities. It was established to honor past titleholders (local and state, miss and teen) and the volunteers/supporters who have mentored them along the way.

The three branches of the Legacy Society include
1. Former Local Titleholders
2. Past State Winners
3. Volunteers and Supporters

Become a founding member of the Legacy Society by updating your profile before October 31 and be among the first featured when the official Miss Texas Legacy Society website launches later this year.

Southeast Texas Teen, Lauren Faria

Lauren created a "good luck" video for athletes participating in Special Olympics Fall Games (pictured left) and was recently featured in Dallas Voyage Magazine's Hidden Gems. Lauren also participated in Miss Plano's, Landry Champlin, thanking essential workers thru "A million thanks". Though Lauren is terrified of needles, through Landry's social impact initiative, she donated blood for the first time in an effort to do something fearless.
Southeast Texas, Angela Witzkoske

Miss Southeast Texas, Angela Witzkoske, recently had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem for the Houston Astros vs Texas Rangers game on September 3rd, 2020.
Twin Rivers, Madi Franquiz

On September 12th, Mentors Across America launched their 2nd Edition which celebrates the almost 100 years of impact that the Miss America Organization has made on our country and the world. This month Madi personally interviewed, not one, not two, but SIX former Miss America's for the 2nd edition. This feature also highlights the 30 plus other members of Mentors Across America including both Miss Plano, Landry Champlin and Miss Dallas, Averie Bishop. Be sure to check this edition out @mentorsacrossamerica on Instagram!
Plano, Landry Champlin

Landry Champlin created the first ever National Live Fearless Day on September 2nd, 2020 with a single mission: empower EVERYONE to achieve their dreams and face their fears. Landry was featured on "Good Morning Texas" and "JP, Kathy & the Crew Radio Show" to speak about this new initiative and share her own story finding her "fearless" in the Miss Texas Org. Landry was able to impact children and adults across the country to find comfort outside of their comfort zone by facing their adversity head on.
