Supporting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals

The Miss America Organization partners with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to raise funds and awareness for children’s hospitals through MissAmerica4Kids.org. Funds are raised at the local, state and national level...and distributed to local CMN Hospitals. Our New Hampshire partner is Children's Hospital Boston, a world leader in science driven care. It was an honor to visit, tour and donate to Children's Hospital Boston as a Miss America local titleholder. To learn more, please visit childrenshospital.org & childrensmiraclenetworkhospitals.org.

Sharing is Caring

It was an honor to meet celebrity bell ringers Governor Lynch and WHEB's Greg Kretschmar at the Portsmouth WalMart in support of the Salvation Army. To make a donation, please visit www.salvationarmynh.org

A Caring Christmas

Miss Strafford County 2012 Lauren Carter made her first official appearance at the 2011 Portsmouth Illuminated Holiday Parade on December 3rd with Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen Lauren Percy. The theme of this year's parade was "A Caring Christmas" and more than 5,000 pounds of food was collected for local food banks. "The Laurens" rode in a classic lilac convertible from CarrollStAuto.com. Hope to see you in Downtown Portsmouth next year!
