Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN) is a national nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for local children’s hospitals. Children’s Wisconsin is a proud member of CMN, and we have received more than $118 million in fundraising dollars from CMN partners during the past 38 years.
Most of these funds are donated year round by local businesses or special Children’s Miracle Network fundraising events. The best part? Dollars raised locally stay local.
Donations in parts of Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula help Children’s Wisconsin fund what’s needed most. This includes critical life-saving treatments, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services that put kids’ and families’ minds at ease during difficult hospital stays and financial assistance for families who could not otherwise afford these health services.
Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network has raised more than $9 billion for 170 children’s hospitals nationwide by empowering and engaging with local communities and businesses.
Mary is bright, bubbly and love sparkles, dancing and pulling silly pranks. In November 2023, everything changed for Mary when excruciating pain led to a traumatic diagnosis: leukemia. Through battling cancer and a grueling treatment plan, Mary has endured spinal taps, hair loss, mobility issues and infections. Even in the toughest moments, Mary remains an incredibly positive, bright light, capturing the hearts of her care team at Children’s Wisconsin who continue to support her through every challenge. She says, “I want to someday work at the hospital. I will do everything I can to cure cancer, take care of babies and be a survivor.”
