Hello friends, family, and community!

My name is Sue-Hailey Magana, and I am so excited to announce that I’ll be competing for the title of Miss Bakersfield 2026! This will be my third year participating in the Bakersfield Pageant. I’m also proud to share that I earned the Best Costume Award two years in a row! Each year has helped me grow in confidence, leadership, and understanding what it truly means to show up for and represent the Bakersfield community with pride.

For me, this pageant is about so much more than gowns and crowns. It’s about community, empowerment, and continuing to be a positive role model for other young women.

This year, I am setting a fundraising goal of $2,000 to help cover the costs of:

Entry Fee

Costume

Interview Outfit

Evening Gown

Hair & Makeup

Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps me take one step closer to the stage feeling prepared, confident, and supported by the community I love. Thank you for cheering me on, believing in me, and being part of this journey with me. I couldn’t do it without you! ✨

With love and gratitude,

Sue-Hailey Magana
