2004 Children's Miracle Network Celebration

It’s time for Celebration!  This year, we are combining our celebration of Rainbow’s “miracle children” and our leading Children’s Miracle Network sponsors in a special way with our broadcast partner, WEWS NewsChannel 5.  Instead of doing a live local broadcast at the hospital, we will air 8 individual “miracle child” stories, each recognizing and thanking one of our top fundraising CMN sponsors for 2003.  These stories will be told solely by the patient families and the Rainbow doctors involved in their survival.  Physicians featured in this year’s stories are Doctors Melvin Berger, Al Cohen, Ira Davis, Hani Hennein, Cliff Megerian, Eileen Stork, George Thompson, and Matt Warman.  The stories will air every Tuesday and Thursday in June during a local commercial break for “The Oprah Winfrey Show”, which airs from 4pm to 5pm on NewsChannel 5.

These same children will be highlighted in a series of news stories that will air during the 5pm or 6pm news shows on NewsChannel 5 from May 30^th through June 6^th.  Three “miracle maker” stories will also run on NewsChannel 5 June 1-3 during “Good Morning Cleveland” from 5am-7am.  These stories will feature John’s Wishing Well, the “Virtual Visitation” program, and the Critical Care transport team.

The national CMN broadcast will air on Saturday, June 5^th from 1pm to 4pm and Sunday, June 6^th from 2pm to 4pm on NewsChannel 5.  The national broadcast will also feature local CMN fundraising and our local miracle children stories.

The Development Department at Rainbow hopes you will tune in and enjoy!
