Malone’s platform this year was the Ronald McDonald House, an organization that makes certain that children who are going through medical hardships are close to their families during their stay at Children’s Hospitals all over the world. During pageant week, Malone was named second runner-up for the Miss Alabama Community Service Award.
Dailey’s platform focused on women’s education.
