The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

In 2010, she earned the local state title of ‘Miss Red River Valley's Outstanding Teen’ and went on to represent North Dakota at ‘Miss America's Outstanding Teen’ the following year.

Competing in Miss North Dakota 2016 as ‘Miss Oil Country’, she managed to secure the 1st runner-up spot. The following year, she again competed in Miss North Dakota 2017 as ‘Miss Northern Lights’, and was able to earn the crown.

For her community service through the ‘A Make-A-Wish Passion with Fashion’ platform, she came second to Miss Alabama Jessica Procter for the ‘Jean Bartel Quality of Life Award’ award in the preliminaries. On September 10, 2017, she beat out 50 other competitors in five different categories to win the Miss America 2018 crown, as well as a $50,000 scholarship.

Philanthropy

Cara Mund’s involvement with the Make-A-Wish Foundation began when she witnessed a sick friend die on her 14th birthday. Her friend’s family requested that the memorial donations go to the charity. Since then, she has organized, directed and choreographed North Dakota's only Annual Make-A-Wish Fashion Show, and has independently raised nearly $80,000 to grant wishes for children suffering from life-threatening medical conditions. On the Miss America stage, she acknowledged her mother to be her greatest inspiration, as despite being diagnosed with cancer three times, she has taught her to face every situation with positivity.

During her onstage interview, she publicly criticized US President Donald Trump for pulling out of the Paris climate deal and stated that he is wrong to dismiss man-made climate change, which many scientists have warned about.
