Hello North Carolina!
My name is D’Amrah Rowdy, and I am honored to serve as Miss Ballantyne 2026. I am proud to be raising funds for educational scholarships and life-saving heart research through the American Heart Association Go Red for Women x Miss America Scholarship Foundation collaboration.
Heart health is deeply personal to me. My family has a long history of heart-related conditions, which has shown me firsthand how critical education, early prevention, and continued research are in saving lives. That experience fuels my passion for being health-educated, advocating for women’s wellness, and helping fund research that protects future generations.
Through this partnership, the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women and the Miss America Scholarship Foundation are working together to raise both research dollars and tuition scholarships, ensuring a healthier and smarter future for women across America.
Your support truly makes a difference. By donating, you are helping end heart disease while empowering women through education. No donation is too small, and every gift brings us one step closer to saving lives and shaping brighter futures.
Thank you for standing with me and supporting this mission from the heart ❤️
