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 $2.2 billion to date, most
of which is donated a dollar or two at a time by caring individuals
across North America.
