About Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
CMN Hospitals was founded in 1983 by Joe Lake, Mic Shannon, Marie Osmond, and John Schneider. Inspired by the March of Dimes model, CMN Hospitals fundraising began as a telethon and has expanded to a national movement to change kids’ health: 170 member hospitals across the United States and Canada, dozens of partnerships with national and regional corporate entities, and multiple peer-to-peer fundraising programs that empower individual groups to give back to their local children’s hospital. Duke Children’s is celebrating 40 years of CMN Hospitals membership in 2024.
While the movement is national, the impact is local: CMN Hospitals’ focus has always been on keeping dollars at the local children’s hospital in the community where the money is raised.
Duke Children’s is the local member hospital for the Triangle, Triad, Fayetteville, and Wilmington. All CMN Hospitals fundraising in these communities benefits the patients and families who come to Duke for world-class pediatric care.
North Carolina is home to two other CMN Hospitals in addition to Duke Children’s: East Carolina University Health in Greenville and Levine Children’s in Charlotte.
You can help support Duke Children’s by shopping and donating at our Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals partners and support events like Radiothon, Miracle Network Dance Marathon, and Extra Life! Look for the yellow Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals balloon at your local businesses, restaurants, and organizations to know that they are a valued Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals partner.
The Miracle Balloon icon was created in 1986 by the Hartford, Connecticut, CMN Hospitals region. The balloon is now the national symbol for CMN Hospitals.
