Miss Heartland 2008 raised $620.00 for the Children's Miracle Network!
What is Children’s Miracle Network?
Children’s Miracle Network is a non-profit organization
dedicated to helping kids by raising funds for 170
children’s hospitals across North America.
The 170 hospitals affiliated with Children’s Miracle Network
help 17 million children each year—kids with cancer, birth
defect, pediatric AIDS, accident trauma and every affliction
imaginable. These children’s hospitals are there 24 hours a
day to provide state-of-the-art care, cutting edge research
and community outreach programs that benefit
children in every state in the U.S.

What does this mean for contestants?
Service, one of the four points of the crown, has always been
important to contestants striving for the opportunity to be
Miss America. To build on this, contestants competing at
any level in the Miss America system will now be expected
to raise a minimum of $100 to support Children’s Miracle
Network and the Miss America Scholarship Fund. This is
not an entrance fee, but rather a new service requirement to
participate in Miss America sponsored pageants.
This new service requirement will not only continue the
Miss America Organization’s legacy of service and scholarship
assistance, but also raise funds and awareness for
Children’s Miracle Network.
