Let me tell you a little bit about us!
First off, my name is Ciera Ingram. In 2008 I had an idea to coordinate a pageant for the Dothan Rescue mission in my hometown of Dothan, Alabama. I named that pageant Miss Heart of Houston County. There were no big plans. There wasn’t a National Pageant in the works, I was just a working mom thankful that a car dealership, a Mary Kay Sales Director, and a couple of local businesses said yes to sponsorships. The rest is history really. That small town pageant is now a National Pageant program that has distributed millions of non perishable food items to non profit organizations all across the USA. We have contributed thousands of non perishable food items to Veterans Service Organizations each year (one of the things I am most proud of) and something that is near and dear to my heart… helps provide toys each year to thousands of kids on Christmas morning through Toys for Tots. A couple of key people believed in me and what I was trying to do. Many wonderful ladies partnered with me along the way and because of that, Miss Heart of the USA has been able to touch the lives of thousands of people through volunteer efforts by our Queens.
Our goal is to give everyone the opportunity to compete so I had the idea of using a fundraising platform that gave each girl the opportunity to raise the funds needed because lets face it, we can't hold this event without financial support.
For a contestant to compete at the 2022 Miss Heart of the USA Pageant, she needs to raise a minimum of $475.00.
That currently breaks down to:
$75 Entry Fee (We are running a sign up special)
$300 Sponsorship Ad Page
$100 Contribution to our Scholarship Fund (We award $5,000 in scholarships each year at Nationals)
Once she has done that she can compete.
Once she has reached the $75 milestone she is assigned her state, regional or county title. She is then mailed a queen kit that consists of a rhinestone crown and monogrammed sash.
There are additional optionals she can participate in like:
Photogenic
Heart Wear
Patriotic Wear
Interview
Etc.
What if a contestant goes over that amount?
Anything raised over that $475 the contestant will be given the opportunity to put towards:
What if she doesn't meet her goal? No problem! We can roll those funds into 2023 and she can work towards competing at the 2023 pageant!
