Aaron Rodgers is out of the playoffs but he seems to be in with Miss America.

So he has that going for him.

Laura Kaeppeler, a 23-year-old from Kenosha, Wis., who majored in music and vocal performance, sang opera, wore a bikini and an evening gown and made the center of her campaign children of incarcerated adults.

She also seems to be a Packers fan.

"If you're watching, Aaron Rodgers, call me," she said when introducing herself to the audience.

Kaeppeler will spend the next year raising money for the Children's Miracle Network.
