Between managing high-stakes marketing campaigns and raising three sons in Spanish Fort, Jenni Dixon also recently found time to rally support from her community for a good cause.

Dixon advanced to the national Quarterfinals of the Super Mom 2026 Competition, placing 14th. This event, operated by Colossal and hosted by Heidi Klum, celebrates motherhood while raising awareness and funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, a nonprofit partnership that has raised more than $14.9 million through the competition to date.

While the competition offers a $20,000 prize and a family vacation, Dixon said her motivation was rooted in a career spent supporting health care professionals.

“A competition like this is not normally something I would do,” Dixon said. “I’m fairly outgoing, but I don’t usually post and get in competitions and stuff like this a lot. But really, it was the Children’s Miracle Network Connection for me.”

Dixon’s husband, Kevin, who serves as the city horticulturist for Loxley, said her drive to help others is a defining characteristic of her personality.

"Jenni has always been someone who wants to make a difference, even in small ways," Kevin Dixon said. "Through her work, she developed a tremendous respect for health care professionals and the families they serve. What drew her to this competition was not the title or recognition, but the opportunity to support Children's Miracle Network and help raise awareness for an organization that helps families during some of their most difficult moments. That's just who she is."

That respect for pediatric care is deeply personal for the Dixon family. Two of their three sons spent time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) after they were born.

“I’ve been the mom in the room sitting in the NICU and been the one having my baby checked out by all these specialists," Dixon said. "I have so much respect for them and the special care and treatment and equipment that funds like this can bring in to support those efforts."

At home, life is a “busy and loud” whirlwind centered around their sons: Calvin, 9, Rhett, 7, and Graham, 6. When asked what her children would consider her “superpower,” she pointed to the simpler sides of motherhood.

“Probably grocery shopping and buying the best snacks,” Dixon said. “Snacks are really important around here.”

Despite the demands of her home life and corporate marketing role, Dixon said she tries to find balance through a local bunco club and community involvement.

Through it all, her family has taught her about showing up in the right way.

“Motherhood has taught me that I can’t control everything, and that’s OK. Patience, flexibility and showing up matter more than perfection. It has shown me how strong I am, how deeply I can love and how important it is to be present. The little moments are the big moments, and they go by faster than you think,” she wrote as her biggest lesson she has learned through motherhood on her Super Mom competition page.

Regardless of the final leaderboard, Dixon said the experience of seeing old coworkers and college friends rally behind the cause has been incredibly humbling.

“I already feel like we’re already winning because funds are being raised,” Dixon said. “I just hope my kids read this 20 years from now and see it’s being done to help other people.”
