Purpose: Primarily to raise funds for legal action and secondarily for public relations services in an effort to correct the governance issues facing the Miss America Organization.

We commit that the new leadership we seek will:

---Bring together stakeholder groups as real and permanent partners in order to continue the progress and sustainability of the Miss America brand and values. These stakeholder groups include the Miss America Sisterhood, State Delegations (inclusive of Local volunteers) and MASTA.
---Commit to creating and streamlining the governance structure so that a transparent governing model integrates good governing practices in an integrated model from local to state to the national level.
---Review and amend all documentation and contracts, striking any and all language that determines involvement by individuals or licensees can be amended “with or without cause”, this includes contestants, State delegations and of course Miss America.
---Embrace changes needed to engage growth among participants as well as educational partners and sponsors but not at the expense of stakeholders and the integrity of the organization.
---Market the cause-oriented young women of the organization who are achieving educational and career successes while also delivering community impact.
---Strive to create a nationally televised event and uphold the existing rules that all contestants and state licensees are aware of the competition elements at least 60 days prior to competition.
---Commit to not only providing an avenue for participants to showcase talent and communication skills during competitions at every level, but also style and physical fitness.
---Leverage any unused funds raised to support the goals and commitments as stated above. If for any reason, these goals cannot be met under the current Miss America Organization, these funds will go towards a new organization that will still maintain all of the guarantees as previously stated.

There is no more time to waste. We need to preserve this beloved organization while facilitating a fair and transparent transition that will bring credible leadership to secure the success of the Miss America Organization. Please consider a donation and help us exceed our goal. Together we can save Miss America.

Thank you!
