Children Miracle Network
& Miss America Platform
Children’s Miracle Network has been selected as the official national platform for the Miss America Organization. This partnership represents the first time in the 94-year history of the Miss America Organization that they have adopted such a program. Children’s Miracle Network has had a long year history working with the Miss America Organization, with this newest initiative signifying a permanent and on-going relationship between the two.
Each year the new Miss America, in addition to bringing awareness to her personal platform, will be an official goodwill ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network as she raises funds and awareness for both Children’s Miracle Network and the Miss America Organization. This partnership also extends to the woman competing at the local, state and national levels of the pageant, asking each contestant who participates to be responsible for raising funds on behalf of Children’s Miracle Network and the Miss America Organization.
