Miss New York Volunteer

With just one month left until I crown the next Miss New York Volunteer, I’m reflecting on my reign and soaking these last moments in. 👑🥹💙

To end this year with a bang, I ask that you take “The Self Care Promise Pledge”, a brief and impactful promise to commit to self care. The pledge is on my website, shannonrosekelly.com, and a heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to everyone who has supported so far.

New York, let’s finish this in style 😎

Let’s go, girls! Enter today! 👑 ✨

Couldn’t have spent New York’s 238th birthday a better way! 🥳

I had the most wonderful time last night watching two new NY representatives being crowned at Miss New York USA 💙 It’s always a pleasure to wear New York across my heart, and congratulations to the new Miss New York USA & Miss New York Teen USA ✨

A special congratulations to my longtime friend Ginger Ragaishis on finishing her incredible year of service as Miss New York Teen USA. Ginger, you are one of a kind and New York was so blessed to have you. 🤍

Congratulations Ellie who graduated yesterday from Schalmont High School. Ellie will be attending UAlbany in the fall. We are very proud of our teen and all she has accomplished. Go Ellie!!! 👩‍🎓

Unfortunately the outcome didn’t go our way, but Shannon should be very proud of what she did and accomplished this week
