UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PAGEANTS is thrilled to announce that Sage Spear, a proud resident of Whitewater, has captured the prestigious title of United States of America’s Miss Wisconsin 2025. In this exciting role, she will represent the remarkable state of Wisconsin at the much-anticipated 2025 national competition, showcasing her dedication and talent on a grand scale.
Sage’s journey is not only about pageantry; she has made profound contributions to volunteerism and scoliosis awareness. Recently honored with the Gold Presidential Volunteer Service Award, she has dedicated over 250 hours to community service in just the past year. Sage’s commitment to raising awareness and offering support to those living with scoliosis stems from her own experience, having been diagnosed with the condition at the young age of 11. Her advocacy passion led her to launch Every Stem Has a Story, a meaningful platform aimed at funding vital scoliosis research and fostering awareness. To further her cause, she illustrated and self-published an engaging coloring book while also designing an inspiring sweatshirt to promote her mission.
In her pursuit of service, Sage is an active AmeriCorps member with the United Way of Jefferson & N. Walworth Counties. Recently, she took the initiative to organize a free community baby shower, successfully providing over 8,000 essential items to families in need, showcasing her dedication to helping others. Alongside her volunteer efforts, she manages her family’s local business, Aropa Designs, balancing her professional responsibilities with her passion for community service. During her downtime, Sage enjoys watching football, immersing herself in the great outdoors, and indulging in true crime podcasts. Her family wholeheartedly supports her ambitions as she prepares to compete against talented women from across the nation, with hopes of bringing home the coveted title of United States of America’s Miss 2026!
