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 $3.4 billion to
date, most of which is donated a dollar or two at a time
by caring individuals across North America.
