Each contestants must raise a minimum of $100 for the Children’s Miracle Network to compete in a Miss Texas/Arkansas local pageant.  If you compete in more than one local pageant, you must raise a minimum of $100 for each local pageant you enter up to a total of $400.  Once you have raised a total of $400, you are not required to raise more money and can enter as many local pageants for which you qualify in the current pageant year.
