Hi Friends and Family!
My name is Giada Thomas, Miss New Haven 2026. This year, I have the opportunity of a lifetime to be a delegate in the Miss Connecticut Pageant.
As a nursing student, I’ve chosen a path rooted in compassion, care, and connection. Every day, I’m learning that even the smallest acts can make the biggest difference especially when it comes to protecting something as vital as the heart.
Through my journey with the Miss America Organization, I’m proud to support the life-saving work of the American Heart Association. This fundraiser is dedicated to raising awareness and support for heart health, education, and research that impacts so many families every day.
With your help, we can continue to nurture stronger, healthier communities one heartbeat at a time. Whether you choose to donate, share, or simply spread the message, your support truly matters.
Together, let’s lead with compassion, give with purpose, and make a lasting difference.
