There She Serves...

Madison is longtime advocate for children battling cancer, and uses her unique talent as a ventriloquist to entertain and bring joy to the young patients she visits in hospitals across the state. Madison introduces children to her animal puppets: Leo the Lion, Frisco the Frog, and Marty the Dog; and then allows patients the opportunity to make their own sock puppets. She also uses her social impact and skills to fundraise for a network of organizations dedicated to preventing and treating pediatric cancer. The Miss America Organization has an established partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hopsitals, a nonprofit organization that saves and improves the lives of children. Madison serves as a state ambassador for CMN Hospitals and visits youth treated in facilities across Texas to raises awareness about the services they provide millions of children. Madison has also been granted the opportunity to work with organizations such as Special Olympics, GiRL Power of the Laura Bush Foundation, Wipe Out Kids Cancer, Team Connor Childhood Cancer Foundation, and more.
There She Advocates…
In her role as Miss Texas, Madison travels the state on a yearlong speaking tour to discuss various topics such as education, community service, and women’s empowerment. Additionally, as part of the “Texas Cares for Children” program, a 501(c)3 foundation, she will share with students a character-education program which includes the importance of making good choices, developing positive activities and habits, good citizenship, and responsibility. Madison will also continue her partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals along with her personal social impact initiative of pediatric cancer awareness. The Miss America state and local contestants and their network of volunteers participate in more than 12,000 community service projects annually, donating more than 500,000 service hours to various worthy causes. The Miss America Organizations partners with the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals as its national platform and has raised over $5 million for scholarship funds and children’s hospitals across the country.
