Children's Miracle Network Hospitals: Creating Miracles for Millions of Kids

Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has been helping save kids' lives by raising funds for local hospitals since the early '80s. In 1983, a telethon aired from Osmond Studios in Orem, Utah raised almost $4.8 million for 22 children's hospitals. This successful event led to the founding of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals by Marie Osmond, Mick Shannon, John Schneider, and Joe Lake.

Each year, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals treats 1 in 10 kids in North America and delivers comfort and hope to millions. Whether they're suffering from a traumatic injury or battling cancer, the doors of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals are always open.

The non-profit has raised over $5 billion for 170 kids' hospitals in the US and Canada to date. The money goes where it's needed the most – equipment, care, research, and training, all to improve the lives of as many kids as possible.
