In 1989, the Miss America Organization founded the “platform”, which requires each contestant to choose an issue about which she cares deeply and that she will serve during her year.

In addition to choosing a personal platform issue, all Miss America local, state, and national contestants are required to participate in mandatory volunteer work for the Children's Miracle Network. Please visit the Miss America 4 Kids website for more information on this National Platform.

As a committment to our national charity, all Miss East Valley contestants are asked to raise $100 in donations for the Children's Miracle Network.
