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 Make a Gift of a dollar or two at a time by caring individuals across North America.
