MAO


"The young women who compete in the Miss America system are intelligent, articulate, highly motivated, caring, talented, ambitious and hard working.  They are passionate about their platform issues and are major contributors to public service.  They exemplify leadership skills, strength of character and spirit…they touch lives."



Miss America Organization: The Miss America Organization celebrates its 90th anniversary this year and is the longest running scholarship program for women. Each year over 45 million dollars are made available to the women who compete across the Unites States. The Miss America system stands for four main points, each represented on a point of the Miss America crown: style, service, scholarship, and success.

Children's Miracle Network Hospitals: The mission of CMNH is to enhance the lives of children through excellence in patient care, research and education. CMNH and the Miss America Organization have over a twenty year history. Since CMNH became the national platform for MAO, contestants have raised over 5 million dollars for their local hospitals. Each Miss America contestant is required to raise $250 for CMN to compete in their state pageant.
