Meet Lily Geyer
Miss Minnesota's Teen 2025

Lily Geyer was crowned Miss Minnesota's Teen at Treasure Island on June 20, 2025. With this title, she has continued her passionate commitment to supporting children experiencing hygiene insecurity in Minnesota schools. Last year, Lily launched her community service initiative, Cheer For The Children, inspired by her mother—a former special education teacher—who often donated essential items to her students.
Through interviews with school social workers and teachers, Lily discovered a significant unmet need for personal care products in schools. Since founding Cheer For The Children, she has received numerous requests from across Minnesota for hygiene items that students desperately need.
Lily has used her platform to raise awareness about the impact of hygiene insecurity on students' self-esteem, attendance, and academic performance. Her impressive fundraising efforts have drawn support from friends, neighbors, churches, and business owners throughout Minnesota. One of her most successful campaigns, 50 By 50, even attracted major donations from the Minnesota Twins and a lumber company chain with locations in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina with strong ties to Minnesota.
Lily’s journey with the Miss America Organization began at age 7 through the Northern Lights program. Over five years, she was mentored by five remarkable Miss candidates who became lifelong friends and role models. They taught her everything from making slime to singing, while also demonstrating the importance of community service and striving for personal and educational growth.
For the past two years, Lily has proudly cheered on the Miss Minnesota and Miss Minnesota’s Teen candidates at the Miss America competition in Orlando. She finds it incredibly inspiring to watch the women of Miss Minnesota shine on that national stage.
Currently a junior at Eastview High School in Apple Valley, Minnesota, Lily is actively involved in school life. She serves as a Linc Crew mentor for new students and enjoys spending time with friends, traveling, visiting colleges, and participating in church activities.
Lily began dancing at just 18 months old and has never stopped. Since entering competitive dance at age three, she has earned numerous scholarships, placements, and judges’ awards. She also competes on her high school cheer team and loves volunteering at youth cheer camps throughout the year.
Lily frequently speaks to groups and young women about the powerful impact the Miss Minnesota Organization has had on her life. Her mission is not only to continue changing the lives of children in need but also to spread awareness about the life-changing opportunities provided by the Miss America Organization. Lily is honored to represent the Miss Minnesota community and looks forward to continuing her work to make a meaningful difference.
Coming up, Lily will compete for the title of Miss America's Teen by representing our state of Minnesota! More info to follow, but we cannot wait to cheer her on at the National competition!
