Proud Partner: Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for children’s hospitals throughout North America. More than 170 children’s hospitals – including Cincinnati Children’s – are affiliated with CMN. These hospitals provide tremendous value to their local communities. With CMN’s help, hospitals like Cincinnati Children’s are able to continue providing vital services for patients and families.

Your Support Stays in Cincinnati

One hundred percent of the money raised through CMN events in Greater Cincinnati goes directly to Cincinnati Children’s. These events help fund research and training, purchase life-saving equipment and pay for uncompensated care. With the support of CMN, Cincinnati Children’s is changing outcomes for kids, making our community healthier and more vibrant.

Events

Dance Marathons

Dance marathons provide local high school and college students with a fun opportunity to raise money for Cincinnati Children’s. Every year, the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University and Miami University sponsor dance marathons to benefit the life-giving work at our hospital. If you’re interested in starting a Dance Marathon at your school, reach out to Jessica Fitzpatrick at jessica.fitzpatrick@cchmc.org or 513-636-2103.

Extra Life

Extra Life puts a passion for gaming to good use − raising money for kids at Cincinnati Children’s. Participants register and create a personal fundraising page through CMNH, collect sponsorships from friends and family, then spend 24 hours playing all types of games. Extra Life is a national fundraising effort sponsored by CMNH − which means that all the money raised locally goes to Cincinnati Children’s.

Hispanic Radiothon

Cincinnati’s top Spanish language radio station, La Mega 97.7 FM, will host its 3rd annual “For the Kids” radiothon in partnership with Children’s Miracle Network to benefit the children and families of Cincinnati Children’s. The radiothon will air 6 am-7 pm on Thursday, April 26, and Friday, April 27.

La Mega 97.7 FM staff and on-air talent will share stories from our patient Champions and their families. Listeners will be asked to call during this time to make a donation or pledge. All donations will stay local and proceeds will benefit Cincinnati Children’s Comprehensive Children’s Injury Center (CCIC), providing programs, education and resources to help families in our community prevent pediatric injuries.

In 2017, LaMega’s 97.7 Hispanic Radiothon raised nearly $118,000 for the Comprehensive Children’s Inquiry Center at Cincinnati Children’s, providing local Spanish-speaking families with resources, programs and education that will promote child safety and prevent pediatric injuries at home, at play and on the go.
