Children's Miracle Network

For more than 30 years, Children’s Miracle Network has raised funds nationally for more than 170 children’s hospitals, including Studer Family Children's Hospital.

As a Children’s Miracle Network member hospital, Studer Family Children's Hospital benefits from community support in our efforts to help make kids better today and healthier tomorrow.

Fundraising efforts from Children's Miracle Network in Northwest Florida directly benefit Studer Family Children's Hospital, reflecting Children's Miracle Networks' pledge to keep 100% of donations in the local community. Children's Miracle Network conducts thousands of corporate campaigns and hosts special events each year.

Do you know a child who inspires others with their determination and positive attitude in spite of injury or illness? Sacred Heart Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals team wants to hear their story. You can nominate your child (or a child near and dear to you) to become one of our Miracle Children.

If your child is selected as a Champion, you become a “champion family.” It is a commitment for everyone involved. Here are some things to consider before you nominate a Champion. Champion families should:

• Be flexible and dependable.
• Be comfortable sharing their child’s story in front of groups of people, large or small, through video, print, photography and written stories.
• Be open to appearing at events and with media.
• Have reliable transportation in order to attend events; families are invited to attend approximately eight events annually primarily within the metro Atlanta area and/or Children’s hospital locations.
• Nominated child should be 2-17 years old.

Make the most of your child’s journey by inspiring other families experiencing similar challenges. Give back to the hospital you trusted with your child’s care. And feel the love and support from a community rallying behind your Champion.

If you have any questions, contact Michaela McCarthy, Children's Miracle Network Coordinator, at 850-746-1094 or michaela.mccarthy@ascension.org

This is your opportunity to not only lift up a special kid, but also give back by pledging your commitment to spreading the word about the important work we do at Sacred Heart Foundation.

Those chosen as a Champion and their families will serve as ambassadors to Studer Family Children’s Hospital and Sacred Heart Foundation, helping to generate awareness and support by participating in corporate and fundraising events throughout the year.
