Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) – the alliance of premier hospitals for children – is a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals across North America. Each year, the 170 hospitals within CMN Hospitals provide the finest medical care, lifesaving research, and preventive education to help millions of kids overcome diseases and injuries of every kind.
When a donation is made through a CMN Hospitals sponsored activity, it stays in the community, helping local kids. Since 1983, CMN Hospitals has raised more than $8.5 billion, most of it $1 at a time. These donations have gone to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all in support of our mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
Every fall, the K99.1FM Cares for Kids Radiothon raises money to provide high-quality pediatric health care to infants, children and teens throughout the region. Since 1998, they have raised millions of dollars to help Dayton Children’s provide the best pediatric care for children.

Many businesses in the area sell Children’s Miracle Network balloons and other icons throughout the year. All the money raised in the Dayton area and the twenty-county service region directly benefits Dayton Children’s. Many of these companies may also have change-collection jars or conduct special events during the year and we urge you to actively take part.
