This campaign unites the American Heart Association’s mission to fight heart disease with the Miss America Organization’s commitment to scholarships, service, and women’s leadership. Funds raised support life-saving heart research and education while empowering local Miss America 2026 candidates as ambassadors for heart health in their communities.
