 CONGRATULATING Ava Walia upon the occasion of
 being crowned the 2025 National All-American Miss
 Preteen

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend individuals whose achievements exemplify excellence, leadership,
and service to their community; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
congratulate Ava Walia upon the occasion of being crowned the 2025
National All-American Miss Preteen; and

 WHEREAS, Ava Walia of Nassau County, New York, has distinguished
herself by winning the prestigious title of National All-American Miss
Preteen, competing among nearly 100 young women from across the United
States; and

 WHEREAS, Through this remarkable achievement, Ava Walia made history
as the first Indian American from Nassau County to win a national title
in this program, bringing great pride to her family, her community, and
the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, In addition to her success in pageantry, Ava Walia has
demonstrated extraordinary commitment to public service and civic
engagement as a dedicated youth advocate for organ donation awareness
through her platform, Save a Kidney; and

 WHEREAS, Ava Walia's advocacy is deeply personal, inspired by the
loss of her grandfather to kidney disease, and has driven her to educate
families and communities about the life-saving importance of organ, eye,
and tissue donation; and

 WHEREAS, In recognition of her leadership and dedication, Ava Walia
was appointed the first Junior Ambassador for Donate Life New York
State, working alongside community leaders and organizations to further
Donate Life's mission across the State; and

 WHEREAS, Ava Walia also served with distinction on the host
committee for Donate Life New York State's "Evening for Good" event held
in New York City, where her leadership and collaborative efforts helped
raise more than $100,000 to support organ donation awareness and
education initiatives; and

 WHEREAS, Ava Walia recently returned from Nationals having earned
the National All-American Miss Preteen title, proudly representing
Nassau County and New York State on a national stage with poise,
purpose, and integrity; and

 WHEREAS, Through her accomplishments, service, and advocacy, Ava
Walia exemplifies the values of compassion, leadership, and community
service, and serves as a role model for young people throughout New York
State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Ava Walia upon the occasion of winning the National
All-American Miss Preteen title, and to commend her for her outstanding
achievements, historic accomplishment, and unwavering commitment to
service and advocacy; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Ava Walia.
