The title of Mr. and Ms. Montevallo are giving to two UM students each year that best represent the university.

This years Mr. and Ms. Montevallo, Jonathan Everheart and Peri McCoy, wanted to start a tradition that they hope will last within the future years.

They established the Mr. and Ms. Montevallo Campus Impact Fund to raise money to give back to the community.

“Whenever I got Ms. Montevallo, I was like ok that’s exciting but I think it’ll be really cool to have something to go along with the title because I kind of felt like, it was awesome but you know, you see like Ms. America or whatever and they are doing things for their community and so I wanted to find a way to kind of give back.” said McCoy.

McCoy mentioned the idea to Everheart and they established who the proceeds will go to.

“I feel that this is going to be something that is truly going to benefit people in the community because the community really does a lot for us and I think they do more than a lot of people realize.” said Everheart.

Half of the proceeds made to the Mr. and Ms. Montevallo Campus Impact Fund will go to the UM Food Pantry and the other half will go to support the “Big Event” throughout the Montevallo Community.

To donate, go to the University of Montevallo website.
