For more than a Century, the Miss America Organization has been committed to empowering women to become leaders, activists and change-makers. Miss America is so much more than its annual telecast. From the sale of war bonds during World War II to AIDS advocacy in the 1990s, Miss Americas have lifted their voices to champion worthy causes and make a difference. Today, this unique program continues as a year-round experience, allowing young women to earn scholarships, grow their networks, develop valuable life and career skills and find their voices in the push for a better world. We need your help to continue providing these valuable opportunities for women in Illinois. If you believe in our mission, will you make a personal commitment to support Miss Illinois' future?
