The Miss America Organization has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to raise funds and awareness for hospitals throughout the United States. Each new Miss America becomes the goodwill ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, speaking on behalf of kids treated at partner hospitals and raising awareness around the country. It’s just another way the Miss America Organization helps young women leave a legacy of service, scholarship and support.

Miss America 2011 Teresa Scanlan will visit dozens of children’s hospitals, appear at numerous sponsor and fundraising events, and travel with child ambassadors to Washington D.C., and Orlando, Fla., to share the important work of children’s hospitals.
