Miss Washington Scholarship Organization and Children's Miracle Network - Partners in Service!
The Miss Washington Scholarship Organization exists
to provide personal and professional opportunities
for young women to promote their voices in culture,
politics, and community service. The national
organization is the largest scholarship provider
for young women in the entire world - giving over
$45 million in scholarships each year. Young women
who participate are working to learn, grow, and progress
in their every day lives while pursuing a higher education
and prioritizing community and volunteer service above all else.
Every contestant and title holder promotes a community service
project or organization during her year of service. The Miss
Washington Scholarship Organization has made Children's Miracle
Network it's official platform partner. Every year Miss Washington
promotes Children's Miracle Network during her year of service
as an advocate and spokesperson, through fundraisers, and by
visiting with children at the hospitals. Now, these two very
valuable non-profit organizations are working together as partners
in service to promote scholarship dollars for young women and to
provide necessary care to children being treated by Children's Miracle Network hospitals.
Children's Miracle Network is the alliance of premier children's hospitals.
Every year, Children's Miracle Network hospitals treat 17 million children
for every disease and injury imaginable. Children's Miracle Network hospitals
impact the lives of more children than any other children's organization in
the world. Children's hospitals provide state-of-the-art care, life-saving
research and preventative education for children 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. There is a Children's Miracle Network hospital dedicated to serving
