AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION FUNDRAISING - Due Tuesday, June 17, 2025
Miss America Contestants are required to raise funds for the American Heart Association. Contestants competing in local competitions must raise $30 per local, and those competing at the state competition must raise $300.
The funds must be raised online through the official Miss Ohio Spotfund Site for the 2024-2025 season, also known as the Miss America 2026 Competition Cycle.
Spotfund only accepts credit card payments online. However, we understand that you may have sponsors who would like to contribute to your AHA Spotfund account but may need to pay by check.
In these cases, you may have the sponsor make a check out to "MISS OHIO" and the donation will still be tax-deductible since the Miss Ohio Scholarship Program is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization. We will then make a credit card payment to your account. Checks should be made out to MISS OHIO and mailed to...
MISS OHIO, PO Box 360245, Strongsville, OH 44136
