Before we introduce our 2027 Cardinals, we want to take a moment to honor our new Forevers! ❤️
To Lauren, our Sadie Cohen 2026: As you passionately work to encourage people every day to protect their heart health, we just want to say that we love YOUR heart. Your heart for others, your heart for this organization, and your heart for being the best version of yourself, always. Your light shines so bright in all you do— never doubt the impact you make on others! We are so proud of the way you worked tirelessly this past year on everything from interview to your new talent performance, while still maintaining excellent grades in school AND a busy cheer schedule! Just like you looked up to all the Miss Indiana titleholders when you were little Lauren, you are an amazing role model for the next generation of girls looking up to you! Thank you for your dedication, perseverance, and heart during your year of service.
To Jenna, our Miss Cardinal 2026: From the moment you were crowned, we knew you were going to put your all into your year of service. From numerous mock interviews, to talent rehearsals, to (many, many) texts about wardrobe, to reshaping your community service initiative— it was clear just how passionate you are about this organization and your role as a titleholder. Your smile lights up every space, and your kindness and energy are contagious. Little Jenna would be in awe of you, in every single way. We are so proud of the amazing human you are, and blessed to be in your corner. We just know there are still great things in store for you, and are forever on Team Jenna.
We love you both to the moon and back, and will always be your Cardinal fam. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being YOU. Love, Paige and Lee Ann ❤️
