United Crown of America National Gala

August 2, 2026

Las Vegas, Nevada

Teri L. Busse will attend the United Crown of America National Gala as Miss Classic Colorado 2026.

Through her platform, Rooted in Resilience™, Teri advocates for resilience through writing, using storytelling to foster conversations about grief, recovery, trauma, healing, and personal growth. As an author, former paramedic, psychology student, and advocate, she believes that sharing our stories can help others feel seen, understood, and less alone.

The National Gala brings together titleholders from across the country to celebrate leadership, service, advocacy, and the positive impact women are making in their communities.
