Festival Queens Pageant

I am Makenna Butler, your 2025 Miss Northwest. I am the daughter of Brett and Amber Butler. I have two older brothers, Kyle Butler (22) and Kory Butler (20). I am an honors student, as well as a college credit plus student. I am a varsity cheerleader, a competitive dancer, and I also volunteer with the younger students at my dance studio. My extracurriculars have always played an important role in my life. I am extremely proud to represent the Mohawks and hope to make everyone proud!

​

My platform as Miss Northwest is titled “Eye See You,” where I will be raising awareness on hereditary eye diseases and the importance of early eye exams. I chose this platform because at fifteen months old I was diagnosed with amblyopia. This specific eye disease occurs when nerve pathways between the brain and the eye do not work together properly; the brain favors one eye. If this disease is caught at an early age, there is a possibility that treatment will be beneficial. I think it is essential for me to talk about this because I participate in multiple activities that take coordination. Even though I may not have depth perception, I still dance, cheer, tumble, drive, and maintain my grades. My goal is to let people know that you can still chase your dreams even with visual impairments.
