American Heart Month is approaching, and we’re kicking it off with a fun way to support an important cause. ❤️
The Miss North Carolina Organization is launching Super Bowl Squares for Heart Month, benefiting the American Heart Association and supporting the future Miss North Carolina 2026 and Miss North Carolina’s Teen 2026 as they work toward their AHA fundraising goals.
❤️ $25 per square
❤️ Only 100 squares available
❤️ Four chances to win during the game, and you can win more than once!
❤️ Proceeds support the American Heart Association and Miss America’s Scholarship Foundation
❤️ Mention any titleholder or contestant who referred you, as they will be eligible for other prizes as well!
This fundraiser helps our future state titleholders raise funds for heart health and reduces pressure during the short window between our state and national competitions.
Squares are limited and available on a first come, first served basis.

Janet Ward Black, age 66, of Summerfield, North Carolina passed away on Sunday, November 2, 2025.
A memorial service with a reception to follow in the Mullin Life Center will be held Friday, November 14, 2025 at 1:00 PM at First Presbyterian Church, 617 N Elm Street, Greensboro, North Carolina 27401.
She represented the local title of Miss Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and was a twenty-one-year-old student at Davidson College when she earned the title of Miss North Carolina 1980. She played Chopin’s “Winter Wind Etude” at Miss America, where she was a non-finalist talent winner.
Attorney Janet Ward Black was the principal owner of Ward Black Law, located in Greensboro. It is one of the largest woman-owned law firms in our state. The firm’s clients have received settlements of more than $100 million over the last 10 years. The firm represents people injured at work, in accidents, and by dangerous products and environmental hazards across North Carolina.
A graduate of Davidson College cum laude in economics and Duke Law School, Black served as the third woman president of the North Carolina Association of Trial Lawyers and the fourth woman president of the North Carolina Bar Association. She was the second lawyer in history to serve as president of both organizations.
The program she created while president of the 16,000-member Bar Association, “4 ALL,” has been used as a model in the United States and Canada for providing free legal services to the poor. The 4ALL program included a telephone call-in day during which more than a thousand NC lawyers provided free legal advice to any person who called a central toll-free number. More than 7000 people consulted with a lawyer that day. Over 100,000 North Carolinians have been assisted by a North Carolina lawyer at no charge since “4 ALL” began.
