CMU freshman Eliy Simmer is Miss Michigan Teen USA 2025, but behind the crown is a cancer survivor and nonprofit founder using her platform to support teens in treatment. ⁠
⁠
After surviving Ewing sarcoma, Simmer started “Eliy’s Sunflowers,” a nonprofit delivering comfort kits to hospitalized teens. Now she’s balancing college life, statewide advocacy and her mission to make other teens feel seen.⁠
