Children's Miracle Network

Children’s Miracle Network is an international non-profit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children by raising funds for children’s hospitals across North America. Begun in 1983 as an alliance of premiere children’s hospitals, CMN’s first fund raising effort was a television special broadcast by 30 television stations and originating from a small studio in Provo, Utah. That first year CMN and 22 hospitals in the United States raised $4.7 million.

UC Davis Children’s Hospital was one of those first 22 hospitals to join the Children’s Miracle Network team, making it the exclusive CMN hospital serving children in our community.

Today, Children’s Miracle Network hospitals treat 17 million children each year for every disease and injury imaginable. Each year, the now 170 Children’s Miracle Network hospitals impact the lives of more children than any other children’s organization in the world. Children’s hospitals provide state-of-the-art medical care, life-saving research and preventative education for children 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Through its year-round efforts to help hospitalized kids, Children’s Miracle Network has raised more than $3.4 billion to date, most of which is donated a dollar or two at a time by caring individuals across North America. CMN’s founding pledge to keep 100 percent of donations in the area in which they were raised and to put children first in all it does remains at the core of its philosophy.

Keeping with the Children's Miracle Network tradition, all funds raised locally stay local, benefiting the sick and injured children that visit UC Davis Children’s Hospital each year through special programs, services, life-saving equipment and cutting-edge research.

Each year, Sacramento Radiothon, which is our largest local fundraising media event, raises funds for UC Davis Children’s Hospital. Be a part of the miracle! Learn more about Sacramento Radiothon and how it helps hospitalized children in our community.
