CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK
Children's Miracle Network — the alliance of
premier hospitals for children — is a non-profit
organization dedicated to helping kids by raising funds
for 170 children's hospitals across North America. Each
year these non-profit hospitals provide the finest care,
research and community outreach to help millions of
children with diseases and injuries of every kind.
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Children's Miracle
Network has grown dramatically since its founding in
1983, from a televised fund raiser in a small studio
to one of the world's leading children's charities working
to save and improve the lives of millions of children
each year.
The 170 Children's Miracle Network hospitals are there
24 hours a day to help kids of every age and background
overcome every imaginable disease and injury-from asthma
and broken bones to cancer, sickle cell anemia, pediatric
AIDS, muscular dystrophy and serious injuries.
Thousands of special events and fundraisers are conducted
year-round through a coalition of premier children's
hospitals, media partners and corporate volunteers working
together to ensure healthy kids in their communities.
In addition to the "Children's Miracle Network
Celebration," an annual televised fund raiser,
corporate sponsors sell paper Miracle Balloons, radio
stations broadcast Radiothons, and college students
hold Dance Marathons-just a few of the programs generating
millions of dollars each year to provide the life-saving
care and crucial outreach programs kids need.
And the need is truly great. This year alone Children's
Miracle Network hospitals will provide charity care
worth billions, yet these non-profit children's hospitals
depend on community support to help fund their vital
services.
Through its year-round efforts to help hospitalized
kids, Children's Miracle Network has raised more than
$2.5 billion to date, most of which is donated a dollar
or two at a time by caring individuals across North
America.
