TRUSSVILLE — During the regular February luncheon for the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce, Miss Trussville 2020 Harley Chapin was in attendance as the featured speaker.
Chapin spoke about how important the Miss Alabama Organization is and how important her social impact initiative is to her.
“In February of 2019, my previous director of pageants, also a really close friend of mine, had a heart attack and was in need of a heart transplant,” said Chapin. “I started to feel helpless, I didn’t know how to help.”
Chapin said she created “Recycle Life” to raise awareness of organ donation. Chapin is also an ambassador for Legacy of Hope Alabama Organ Donation.
Chapin graduated from UAB in 2019, with a major in graphic design – art studio and a minor in communications – public relations. She now manages the shipping department of an online boutique.
As Miss Trussville, Chapin, who is from Columbiana, said she is dedicated to serving the Trussville area.
“Thankfully, for me, Miss Trussville is an open, preliminary competition,” said Chapin. “So, I got to compete in Miss Trussville and I’ve competed in it for probably four years, maybe five, so thankfully, I won this year.”
Chapin said she has friends and family in the city of Trussville.
