Hello! My name is Bam. I’m a 2 year old Great Dane and I love kids and other animals! Daddy let me run for Prom King so I can help kids and other animals that do not have a Forever Homes. If I win, daddy said we would donate 1/2 of the funds to Rescue one and give our prizes to Rescue One Foster parents or Rescue One Volunteers. Thank you for your support!!

Eden Holt is an engaged community member, entrepreneur, and advocate whose life's work is rooted in one unwavering belief that every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and valued. As the founder of The Connection Effect, I walk alongside others through some of life's most tender moments, helping them rise from the inside out. I knows firsthand what it means to need a community that shows up, which is why I am proud to fundraise for Care to Learn. An organization that quietly and powerfully removes the barriers that keep children from being fully present in their classrooms. When a child is hungry, cold, or without the basic necessities, learning becomes impossible. Care to Learn changes that. My goal is to raise funds for Care to Learn, because I believes that investing in a child's sense of security is investing in their future and that a community that takes care of its children is a community that truly thrives.

I am a community leader with a passion for service and a love for creating beautiful, welcoming spaces. As a seasoned retail leader with 20 years of multi-unit experience across major markets like NYC, DC, Atlanta, and Miami, I recently made the decision to join Bass Pro Shops. Beyond my professional life, I’m an active volunteer who proudly supports many organizations in the community. I’m the Board Chair for Girls on the Run of Southwest Missouri, member for the Greene County Domestic Violence Board, and a Board member of the American Red Cross of Southern Missouri. I also volunteer with the Boys & Girls Clubs, where I was honored as a 2025 AmbassaDOOR, Harmony House, CASA, Habitat for Humanity, Crosslines, The Kitchen, and many more. I also am a proud graduate of Leadership Springfield Signature Class 45, a member of the inaugural class of Biz417’s The Legacy Network and the inaugural recipient of Springfield Daily Citizen’s Emerging Leader Award. Also, I’m currently studying French, learning chess, and building an Etiquette Consulting business.

Hi there! My name is Chevelle Chardonnay and I am your 50th Miss Gay Springfield America! I’ve been doing drag for 7 1/2 years and primarily, my mission is to be as philanthropic as possible! In my career I have raised over 100k dollars for various non profits around Springfield MO. From those who happen to be homeless, pets, or children who are struggling. I have done it all and look forward to continuing this wild journey!

Description gJeff, aka Booty has been a bartender at Bob & Ike’s for five years. Booty has been a massive help with raising money at multiple events for years now and is excited to try and raise as much money for this event. He is also single and ready to mingle ladies. oes here

Jennifer is the owner of Bob & Ike’s. Jenn is also a massive supporter of her community with helping out at all sertoma events like Wingapalooza. However, she also helps out with so many non for profits in the Springfield area to make sure that her community is strong and taken care of all.

Kristin and Jeff Ward are just two people who love music, their family, and being part of a community that feels like home. Between everyday life and playing music around town, they’re always up for a good time and any excuse to connect, laugh, and enjoy the moment. They’re honestly just grateful to be included and excited to be part of something that gives back. If they receive enough votes, they’ve chosen to support the Boys & Girls Club of Springfield, MO—an organization they’ve had the privilege of supporting through local events and performances. It’s a group they’ve seen make a real impact, and being able to give back to something they’re already connected to would mean a lot. Any support is truly appreciated and helps turn something fun into something meaningful.
