Now in its 42nd year, this annual event has raised over $100 million in its history, and this year came very close to beating last year’s record haul of $3.8 million.
A 24 hour event, the telethon saw local and international celebrities come together for a marathon of performances and presentations alongside individual appeals, and of course major donation presentations!
Miss World’s participation included a stint in presenting on during the live telecast as well as manning the phones, taking donations from the citizens of Iowa who annually turn out to provide for those less fortunate than themselves.

During my time in the state I learnt a great deal about the efforts made by so many groups, who will all benefit greatly from this event. Every year, thousands of lives are changed through the generosity of the people. Iowa you are amazing!”
