North America - Special Olympics Champion Ambassador, Gracie Hunt, is set to compete in the 2021 Miss USA Competition in Tulsa, Oklahoma later this month. Gracie is the current Miss Kansas 2021, a proud advocate for inclusion, and a champion for breaking barriers through sports.
  
Special Olympics staff, athletes and volunteers are collectively wishing Gracie the best of luck in this exciting competition. The Miss USA & Miss Teen USA competition takes place Wednesday, November 24th through Monday, November 29th at the River Spirit Casino Resort in the Cove Theatre and Grand Ballroom.  Gracie’s achievement of being crowned Miss Kansas earlier this year qualifies her for the thrilling competition this month. Hulu will be livestreaming the event on the 29th of November.
  
Gracie became involved with Special Olympics in 2015 as a Unified partner on the FC Dallas Special Olympics soccer team. In 2018, she began sideline reporting during Unified matches, eventually coming to serve on both the SO Texas and SO Kansas boards. She has been a proud supporter at SO Texas and SO Kansas events and her passion for inclusion shines through.

Special Olympics Champion Ambassadors engage with Special Olympics within a country, region, or state of recruitment and dedicate their time to specifically support one area of focus to help bring awareness to the important work of Special Olympics. Gracie is currently spearheading the Kansas City Chiefs Unified Challenge with big plans for where the inclusion revolution can go.
