19TH ANNUAL MS. WHEELCHAIR KANSAS CROWNING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

The 2024 Ms. Wheelchair Kansas will soon be crowned, and YOU are invited to witness this great event in our state! Not only are we crowning a new adult titleholder, but we are also crowning our 9th Little Miss Wheelchair Kansas! Be there as we say farewell to our current titleholders, Daija Coleman and Olivia Woodard, and welcome a new Ms. and Little Miss titleholder.

The Ms. Wheelchair Kansas crowning ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, March 24, 2023, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at the DoubleTree Hotel in Lawrence, KS (200 McDonald Drive). The ceremony will include platform speech presentations by the contestants; a keynote speech from Long Beach City Councilwoman and Ms. Wheelchair California 2012, Mary Zendejas; farewell from the current titleholders; and crowning of the new Ms. Wheelchair Kansas and Little Miss Wheelchair Kansas.

The mission of the MWKS program is to annually select one woman, who is wheelchair mobile, who will successfully advocate, educate, and empower all people on a state level. This is NOT a beauty contest, but rather a competition to select the most articulate, accomplished delegate who will serve as a role model and spokesperson for people with disabilities in Kansas. The crowned titleholder will have the opportunity to travel throughout the state educating various groups about the issues of importance to people with disabilities. Her reign will ultimately lead up to an opportunity to attend the national competition in August, where she will represent Kansas and compete for the title of Ms. Wheelchair America.

Ms. Wheelchair Kansas will also be announcing the new Little Miss Wheelchair Kansas. The Little Miss program gives the younger generation of 5-12 year olds the opportunity to educate, meet people, share their voice, and learn from adult role models. Olivia Woodard of Goddard, the current Little Miss, will pass her title onto the next young role model at this year?s ceremony.

Come to the crowning on March 24 to see what this organization is all about and witness this great event where the 2024 Ms. Wheelchair Kansas and Little Miss Wheelchair Kansas will be announced! For more information, contact Carrie Greenwood at 785-633-7255 or [email protected] or visit www.mswheelchairkansas.org [ [link removed] ].
