| Children's Miracle
Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving
the lives of children by raising funds for children¹s hospitals across
North America. Each year the 170 Children's Miracle Network hospitals
provide the finest medical care, life-saving research and preventative
education to help millions of kids overcome 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 helping 17 million kids 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, heart defects, pediatric AIDS, muscular dystrophy and
serious injuries. These children’s hospitals are also on the front
lines of preventing disease and injury through research, education and
outreach programs that keep millions of kids out of the hospital each
year.
Thousands of special events and grassroots
fund raisers 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 services kids need.
And the need is truly great. This year alone
Children's Miracle Network hospitals will provide charity care worth
billions, yet these children’s hospitals depend on community support to
help fund their vital services.
Through its year-round efforts to help kids,
Children's Miracle Network has raised more than $2.7 billion to date,
most of which is donated a dollar or two at a time by caring
individuals across North America.
