MX Crape Myrtle Festival


MX Crape Myrtle Festival

The Mx. Crape Myrtle Festival competition is more than a fundraising contest—it's a celebration of the incredible individuals who help make our mission possible.

Each year, the Crape Myrtle Festival invites outstanding members of our community who are passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals living with HIV/AIDS to compete in a friendly online fundraising campaign. Through their creativity, dedication, and community spirit, contestants raise critical funds that allow the Crape Myrtle Festival to continue investing in local organizations that provide life-changing services and support.

The contestant who raises the most funds earns the distinguished title of Mx. Crape Myrtle Festival, along with the honor of wearing the official crown and sash, which are passed from one titleholder to the next during our annual Grand Gala. Throughout their reign, Mx. Crape Myrtle Festival serves as an ambassador for our organization by promoting our mission, representing CMF at community events, and inspiring others to get involved.

Above all, the Mx. Crape Myrtle Festival competition is our way of recognizing extraordinary supporters, celebrating community leadership, and turning generosity into meaningful impact. Every dollar raised helps strengthen our community and supports organizations dedicated to serving the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
