Children's mural

Children's Miracle Network (CMN) is a nonprofit organization that raises funds for children's hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Donations support the health of more than 12 million children each year. Donations, which go to local hospitals, fund critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services along with research, medical equipment, emotional, and health support during difficult hospital stays, as well as financial assistance. CMN funds are unrestricted. Donations are directed to local member hospitals so they can be used where they are needed the most. The organization, founded in 1983 by Marie Osmond, John Schneider, Mick Shannon, and Joe Lake, is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The current president and CEO is Aimee Daily, PH.D. To date, CMN has raised more than US$9 billion, which is distributed to a network of 170 hospitals.
