Who will she be? Tune in to the Miss America Pageant

On Sunday, contestants from across the United States will compete to win the title of Miss America 2017 — and with that title comes another: Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals National Goodwill Ambassador.

CMN Hospitals has had a 25-year working history with the Miss America Organization. The newly crowned Miss America serves as our National Goodwill Ambassador. The partnership gives contestants competing at all levels of the program the added opportunity to serve their communities by raising much-needed funds for and visiting local children’s hospitals.

We would like to thank and congratulate the 2016 Miracle Maker award winners for their fundraising efforts:

1. Miss Alabama Hayley Barber raised $43,350

2. Miss South Carolina Rachel Wyatt raised $43,424

3. Miss Kansas Kendall Schoenekase raised $36,301

Follow us on Instagram and Snapchat over the weekend as Miracle Kids take over our channels to share behind-the-scenes access to all events.

These BFFs will be reuniting in at this weekend’s 2017 #MissAmerica Competition and 2015 #Arakansas Champion Kenzie will be taking over our Instagram to document the whole thing! The fun starts tomorrow. #instagramtakeover
