Vestavia’s Francie Harris wins Miss Auburn Homecoming 2014

Auburn University senior and Vestavia Hills High School graduate Francie Harris recently won Miss Homecoming 2014. She was awarded the honor during the Auburn University homecoming game on Sept. 27.

Harris’s platform is to raise awareness of childhood cancer. Through her campaign, she plans to make a donation to Open Hands Overflowing Hearts, a non-profit organization started by Auburn University freshman Kayla Perry to help raise funds to one day end the disease.

“My goal is to use this campaign to recognize the children and families affected by childhood cancer, to emphasize the importance of supporting research to find a cure, and to impart to my fellow students the great joys that come from serving those in need through philanthropic acts,” Harris said.

Harris is a human development and family studies and child life major. She is a Auburn University head cheerleader, member of Omicron Delta Kappa and a high school leadership counselor. Harris is also a former VHHS Homecoming Queen.
