Cheney Thomasson won the Miss Junior Teen Georgia United States title March 6 at Augusta State University. Cheney will be representing Georgia at the national Junior Teen United States pageant in July 2010 in Las Vegas. She won the photogenic and swimsuit awards, as well as the overall state title.

"I am honored to promote my platform of organ donation on a state level and encourage teens across the state to be a part of their communities through volunteerism," said Cheney.  "Teens need stable, supportive and positive people to look up to, and my mission is to make a real difference in Newnan and statewide as Miss Junior Teen Georgia United States."

Cheney is an active cheerleader and soccer player.  She serves as a judge on the honor council, and is a member of the French Club and Key Club. Her goal is to attend Emory University and become a regenerative biologist.  She has spearheaded her own volunteer programs to raise funds for The Charity for Organ Donation Assistance and local women's shelters in Newnan.  Congratulations, Cheney!
