Hi friends 🤍
I’m Ritika Malik, and I’m so excited — and honestly really proud — to be raising funds for women’s education and heart health through the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women x Miss America Scholarship Foundation.
This cause is deeply personal to me. As a first-generation woman building her future through education, science, and service, I know how powerful access can be — whether it’s access to a scholarship, to healthcare, or to the tools that allow someone to pursue their dreams. Through my nonprofit, Digital Access Now, I’ve seen firsthand how giving someone the right resources can completely change the trajectory of their life.
That’s why this partnership means so much to me. It supports both life-saving heart research and tuition scholarships for women, ensuring that women are not only healthy enough to chase their goals — but also supported enough to reach them.
Heart disease is still the leading cause of death for women in the U.S., and at the same time, too many women are forced to put their education on hold because of financial barriers. This initiative is working to change both — creating a future that is healthier, smarter, and more empowered.
If you’re able, I would be so grateful for your support. No donation is too small — every dollar truly makes a difference. Whether it helps fund critical heart research or keeps a woman in school, your generosity becomes part of something much bigger.
Thank you for believing in women, in education, and in a healthier future.
I’m so grateful to have you in my corner 💗
