About CMN: Children’s Miracle Network, the national platform of the Miss America Organization, is a charity that raises funds for more than 170 children’s hospitals.Donations to Children’s Miracle Network are used to provide charitable care, purchase life-saving equipment, and fund research and education programs that save and improve the lives of 17 million children each year. Founded in 1983 by Marie Osmond, John Schneider, Mick Shannon, and Joe Lake, Children’s Miracle Network entered the scene as a nationally televised Telethon. The organization has since evolved into a worldwide force in fundraising, raising nearly $4 billion over the past 27 years.

lgrAbout Miss Massachusetts 2010: Loren Galler Rabinowitz is the reigning Miss Massachusetts and will represent Massachusetts at the 90th Miss America Pageant (January 15th, 2011 on ABC). An alumna of The Park School (’01), BB&N (’04) and Harvard University (’10), Loren will begin medical school next fall to pursue her dream of becoming a pediatrician. Loren is a former United States national novice and junior ice dancing champion, and United States (senior) bronze medalist in ice dancing. She is also a classical pianist.

Loren’s decade-long participation in pediatric medical research on the island of Barbados has left her with an acute awareness of, and sense of responsibility for, the most vulnerable members of society: children. She is honored to be serving as the goodwill ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network during her year as Miss Massachusetts and to have this opportunity to use her love of skating for such an important cause. Loren hopes you will support her efforts by attending “Blades and Balloons” on November 20!
