Did you know that 62 children enter Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for treatment every minute? That's the equivalent of one child every second. In fact, member hospitals treat 16,000 kids in emergency rooms every single day.

Children visiting a CMN Hospital may be battling cancer or receiving treatment for a traumatic injury, or genetic disease. Whatever the illness or injury, 170 CMN Hospitals across the United States and Canada always have their doors open to help children in need. To provide the best care possible for kids, they rely on donations from their communities.

Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has been raising funds and awareness for children's hospitals. Donations stay local to fund medical research, equipment, services and charity care to save and improve kids’ lives. CMN Hospitals has raised more than $5 billion since 1983, most of it $1 at a time.

We’re grateful for solutions like PayPal that help us collect those donations. When we encourage giving online, tools like PayPal help us reduce our costs, become more efficient and remain leaders in technology that supports philanthropy.

We recently created with PayPal, highlighting our fundraising efforts. You can check out HERE.
