CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, June 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Newly appointed Mrs. Illinois America 2025, Tracy Drost, is stepping into her role with a heartfelt mission: to empower children across the state to make a difference through charitable works. With a lifelong passion for community service and a personal track record of raising children who lead with compassion, Tracy is dedicated to showing that giving back not only uplifts others — it profoundly improves one’s mental well-being. As a mother and mentor, Tracy has consistently modeled the belief that purpose-driven action fosters resilience and inner strength.

“Philanthropy is one of the most powerful ways we can nurture a child’s sense of purpose,” says Drost. “When kids learn to give, they begin to understand their power to impact the world around them — and that’s transformative.”

To further this mission, Tracy is proud to announce her partnership with Gratitude Generation, a nonprofit that cultivates leadership and generosity in youth through hands-on service projects and community events.
