Hello, my name is Lily Walton and I am your 2025 Miss Coastal Alabama’s Teen. My community service initiative is The Power of Difference; our mission is to raise awareness for and rid the stigma of learning differences, such as dyslexia.

Today, I am asking you to donate funds so I can buy books to read and donate to classrooms. Books can open up new worlds for children, and my goal is to help children with learning differences find joy in stories. All proceeds will go directly towards funding “dyslexic friendly” books that will be donated to schools.
