Children's Miracle Network
Miss America's National Platform
The Miss America Organization has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network to raise funds and awareness for children’s hospitals throughout the United States.
Contestants competing in Miss America-sponsored pageants are now expected to raise a minimum of $100 in donations for Children’s Miracle Network and the Miss America Scholarship Fund. It’s not an entrance fee, but a new service requirement.
In addition, each new Miss America becomes the goodwill ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network, speaking on behalf of kids treated at children’s hospitals and raising awareness around the country. It’s just another way the Miss America Organization helps young women leave a legacy of service, scholarship and support.
Contestants can register at http://www.missamerica4kids.org to begin fundraising
