Please Note that there is a National Platform for Miss America: The Children’s Miracle Network. All contestants competing in a local preliminary are required to complete the Service Requirement of raising $100 for the CMN. This is a tax deductible donation. 40% goes to the Children’s Miracle Network, 30% to the Miss America Scholarship Fund and 30% to the local pageant. Contestants are not required to handle any money. All fundraising must be done via internet and email. Please visit the official website at www.missamerica4kids.org. Here you can register and get answers to frequently answered questions. This is a new requirement from Miss America this year. Please call or e-mail us if you have ANY questions.
In order to compete in the Miss Capital City pageant you must complete your requirement by November 7, 2008. We will check the missamerica4kids website to ensure your compliance and no contestant will be allowed to compete unless she has fulfilled this requirement.
