Support Gracie Yost's Miss California Teen USA 2025 Journey

Hi! My name is Gracie Yost, and I’m honored to be representing my hometown Chico in the upcoming Miss California Teen USA 2025 competition this August 8–10 in Palm Springs California!

I’m beyond excited for this opportunity—not just to compete, but to share my passion for self-love, authenticity, and teen empowerment on a much larger stage.

As a teen yoga instructor, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful health and wellness can be—not just for the body, but for the mind and heart, too. Through my personal health and wellness journey I have discovered that through yoga, you become more confident and authentic in who you truly are. That belief is at the core of every class I teach and every interaction I have in my community. My goal is to make that message stronger and louder, reaching more teens who need it.

This journey, however, comes with financial challenges. Pageant fees, travel expenses, wardrobe, coaching, and preparation all add up. That’s where I need your help.

By donating to this fundraiser, you’re not just supporting a pageant dream—you’re investing in a teen leader with a purpose: to uplift others through wellness, self-expression, and genuine confidence.

Here’s how your support will help:

• Entry & registration fees (Total $2,000)

• Travel & lodging ($1,000)

• Competition wardrobe (interview, athletic wear, evening gown) ($1,500)

• Hair, Makeup, and Coaching Expenses ($500)

• Community service projects to amplify my platform

No amount is too small—every dollar brings me one step closer to that stage and to making a difference. If you can’t give right now, sharing this page means the world, too.

Thank you for believing in me, my message, and my mission. Let’s show California what Chico teens are made of

With love and gratitude,

Gracie Yost
