Miss TN Volunteer wins Night 1 preliminary in Volunteer America

If Jada Brown, who won Miss Lane College Volunteer in 2023 before winning Miss Tennessee Volunteer last summer, is going to win Miss Volunteer America, she’s off to a good start.

Brown was named one of two preliminary winners on Wednesday night, the first night of preliminaries.

Brown was named the Lifestyle & Fitness winner for the evening.

Cassie Donegan, Miss New York Volunteer, was the winner in the talent competition.

There are four portions of the Miss Volunteer America competition – Lifestyle & Fitness, Talent, Evening Gown and Interview. Winners in Lifestyle & Fitness and Talent will be announced each preliminary night through Friday.

Then the finals on Saturday will see the field dwindle from 51 total competitors – every state winner and the District of Columbia – to the 2025 Miss Volunteer America.
