The 2023 Miss Heart of the USA Pageant is taking place July 14th & 15th 2023 at the Enterprise Civic Center in Enterprise, Alabama.

Donating through a contestant link gives her the ability to pay for required competition fees 

Once she reaches $295 her pageant entry fee is paid for. She receives a monogrammed sash and the official Miss Heart of the USA Rhinestone round crown. She also receives access to our Queens group and begins working towards our volunteer programs. You can actually keep up with what our Queens are doing by visiting www.facebook.com/missheartoftheusa

After that is complete or if she has already won her entry fee paid to Nationals she is then raising money for the following:

$100 Donation to our Scholarship Fund (We guarantee a minimum of $5,000 in scholarships be awarded every year at Nationals even if we don't raise that much in scholarship)

$300 Sponsorship Ad page

Anything raised after that she can use to pay towards additional ad pages, optionals, admission armbands for guests, party tickets or peoples choice votes.

EVERY DONATION HELPS HER! EVEN IF YOU CAN ONLY DONATE $10!

We appreciate all of your support! Thank you so much. Your donation will help make this experience truly memorable for our Queen.

Now let me take a moment to tell you a little bit about our program ... 

Hi! I'm Ciera! 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, that is actually one of the things I am the most proud of. Through our Christmas pageants we have been able to donate thousands of toys to children across the USA because we believe every child deserves to wake up to a gift on Christmas morning regardless of their circumstances.

The Mary Kay Sales Director who sponsored my first pageant later became a key leader within what would later be known at Miss Heart of the USA. The car dealership that sponsored our very first pageant, the owner of the dealership went on to become the mayor of my hometown and has since done so many incredible things. A couple of key people believed in me and what I was trying to do. 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. 

As we grew people came and went. Many volunteering their time and talents to make what Miss Heart of the USA what it is today and for that I am so incredibly thankful.

In 2016 I married a man that has the same heart for service as I do. I truly feel like God hand picked him just for me. We now work together on a program that we hope leaves a lasting impression on everyone we come in contact through it.
