Shania Tandon, 2025 Miss Illinois Teen USA® Delegate

Dear potential delegate sponsor,

I am Shania Tandon, I will represent the beautiful city of Naperville, Illinois as a delegate in the 2025 Miss Illinois Teen USA® pageant. This prestigious event will be held from May 23rd to May 25th in Bloomington, Illinois.

My mission as a delegate is to inspire individuals to prioritize balance in life.

This mission is deeply personal to me because, at the end of last summer, I faced an unexpected setback that left me on crutches and unable to compete in cross country, a sport I had trained for over many years. Instead of dwelling on what I’d lost, I focused on self-improvement by reading books, drawing, and finding ways to grow mentally and emotionally. I embraced leading my teammates in new ways, supporting them from the sidelines and learned to be grateful for the things I could control—like my mindset, recovery, and personal growth. Through these challenges, I discovered the importance of resilience, gratitude, and finding balance in life, which ultimately gave me the strength to return to competition stronger than ever. I’m eager to inspire others, especially young athletes, to embrace balance and perseverance in their journeys.

By becoming a sponsor, you’ll play a vital role in helping me raise the funds necessary to support me in my journey of being crowned Miss Illinois Teen USA.

Sponsorships can range from $10 to $1,000 or more, and the

top 15 contributors can have their names featured in the official pageant Program Book.

I am excited to continue this journey with you as part of my team, proudly representing the city of Naperville. Together, we can inspire future generations to embrace their unique voices and beauty while discovering balance in life.
