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.

Supporting children’s hospitals is a community effort, and your local contestant needs your help. Because funds donated to Children’s Miracle Network stay in the community, when you donate you’re helping kids near you—maybe even the children in your own life. Help your local contestant reach her fundraising goal by donating to these two wonderful causes.

Thank you for helping Miss America contestants make miracles happen!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for visiting the CMN site! Children's Miracle network is a great organization that is part of the Gilette's Children's Hospital. I am so excited to be given the chance to give back to Gilette's because I have been a patient there before in the past for my brachial plexus injury. The staff there has always been so helpful and supportive. They work so well with children and I was honestly excited for my appointments! What kid is excited for their doctor's appointments? I know it was because of the great staff and the outstanding treatment that they gave. To find out more about my personal experience with Gilette's and the Children's Miracle Network, head to my donation page from the link above! :)
