About CMN
Children's Miracle Network, the alliance
of premier hospitals for children, is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping kids
by raising funds for 172 children's hospitals across North America. Each year these nonprofit
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 172 Children's Miracle Network hospitals are there 24 hours a day to help kids of every
age and background overcome disease and injury including everything from asthma and broken
bones to cancer, sickle cell anemia, pediatric AIDS and muscular dystrophy.
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 keep kids healthy 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. These and other programs generate millions of dollars each year to provide the
life-saving care and crucial outreach programs that hospitalized children 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.
