Miss America Cara Mund

Listen to "Cara Mund Miss America 2018" on Spreaker. Cara Mund's acceptance of the highly-coveted crown is just the beginning of a journey that will take her to every corner of the nation and around the world during her year of service as Miss America 2018. She will embark on her national speaking tour about her platform, A Make-A-Wish Passion with Fashion, and act as the official National Goodwill Ambassador for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for its 170-member hospitals, is the national platform partner of the Miss America Organization. Cara is an Ivy League honors graduate from Brown University who is headed to law school. At age 14, Cara founded North Dakota's Annual Make-A-Wish Fashion Show. For 10 years, Cara has brightened 23 Wish Kids' lives, became a "Certified Wish Granter," and raised more than $78,500 for Make-A-Wish. In 2011, President Barack Obama recognized Cara's charitable efforts. Cara is a national dance champion and trained four summers with The Rockettes. Cara's recent work in the United States Senate and her passion for helping others ignited her own wish - to become the first Miss America from North Dakota.
