23</p> <p><b>Hometown:</b> Bismarck, North Dakota</p> <p><b>Platform Issue:</b> A Make-A-Wish Passion with Fashion</p> <p><b>Talent:</b> Self-Choreographed Jazz Dance to “The Way You Make Me Feel”</p> <p><b>College Major:</b> Business, Entrepreneurship, and Organizations</p><div class="mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle" style="display: none !important;"></div> <p><b>Scholastic Ambition:</b> To attend

Claflin Woodhull — the first woman to run for U.S. President, the first woman to operate a brokerage firm on Wall Street, and one of the first females to found a newspaper. Since it runs in the family, what will be my first?</p> <p><b>Bio:</b> Cara Mund is an Ivy League Honors Graduate from Brown University 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 over $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 Radio City 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.</p> <div class="mailmunch-forms-after-post" style="display: none !important;"></div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="footer"> <div class="footer-inner"> <div class="row"> <div class="widgets"> <div class="widget widget-text small-12 large-4 columns"> <aside id="text-2" class="widget widget_text"><div class="widget-head"><h4 class="widget-title">About Us</h4></div><div class="widget-body"> <div class="textwidget">The Miss America Organization is one of the nation’s leading achievement programs for young women.
