The Miss America Organization has connected me with the outstanding organization, the Children's Miracle Network. The fundraiser opportunities and connections that I have made within this organization will continue to impact my life even after I leave the system. Fargo, North Dakota has a wonderful Children's Hospital that I have closely worked with since I was young. I was able to once again give back to my own community through the Cares for Kids Radiothon. It was a two day event that had a strong backing from two of our local radio stations. They spend the days promoting the organization, sharing stories from families in the area and encouraging citizens to give back to our local hospital and the children that it serves. This year was a record breaking year for Cares for Kids. We were able to raise over $157,000 for Sanford and our local children!! I am pleased to say that in addition to taking donations, I also stepped up to give my own $20x12 donation. That is only $0.66 a day and there is nothing better or more important that you could spend that money on! I had the best time working with my community to make an impact.
