Children's Miracle Network Osmond Foundation, For the Children of the World |
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) (French: Réseau Enfants-Santé (RES)) is a North American non-profit organization that raises funds for children's hospitals, medical research, and community awareness of children's health issues. The organization, founded in 1983 by the Osmond family, John Schneider, Mick Shannon, and Joe Lake, is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The current President and CEO of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals is John Lauck. To date, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals claims to have raised more than $4.7 billion USD which is distributed directly to a network of 170 hospitals.
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals raises more than $250 million each year. The funds are raised in part by corporate partners, like Walmart, Ace Hardware, Sam's Club, Costco Wholesale, RE/MAX, and Love's Travel Stops throughout the United States and Canada. There are 170 children's hospitals affiliated with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in the United States and Canada. The funds raised by Children's Miracle Network Hospitals flow through directly to participating hospitals. Children's Miracle Network Hospitals' primary fund raising efforts are corporate fundraising campaigns with more than 80 corporate partners.
In addition, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and many of its member hospitals hold an annual telethon every first weekend in June known nationally as A Celebration of Real Miracles, hosted by Osmond and Schneider, with local cut-ins. The telethon is presented on various television stations in the United States and Canada with local segments varying from station to station. In Quebec, the TVA network produces its own French-language telethon, Opération Enfant-Soleil, held the same weekend as its English-language counterparts; though it does not use any of CMNH's segments, the telethon and the organization is part of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
