Children's Miracle Network Hospitals
When you see the CMNH balloons in our community, you know that funds raised stay local to benefit Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital
Every year since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has brought communities together to raise money—often $1 at a time—for premier children's hospitals across North America. Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital is the CMN hospital for Eastern Washington, which means that funds raised through CMNH promotions in our area stay right here in Spokane to benefit our local children’s hospital. In 2022, CMN Hospitals raised $2.2 million for Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital.
Locally, CMNH raises money for everything from life-saving equipment to birthday parties for our patients. These funds are unrestricted, which allow us to respond to critical needs at a moment’s notice. CMNH became part of Providence Inland Northwest Foundation in 2018.
Meet Abigail, Our 2024 Champion
"Our lives completely changed the day we were told Abigail had a congenital heart defect," say Cora and Joe Kelley. "During a prenatal anatomy scan, doctors saw that Abigail’s heart was not developing correctly… and that is the day our Heart
Family journey officially started.
"Once Abigail was born via cesarean delivery at Sacred Heart, she immediately went to the NICU. At 4 days old, she had a heart catheter procedure to try and correct the heart defect; at that point, it was a waiting game to see if the procedure 'worked' or not. Unfortunately, she needed a more aggressive intervention so when she was just 18 days old, Abigail underwent open-heart surgery. After surgery, Abigail was transferred to the PICU to recover and that was when she started getting stronger! She had a heart that was finally doing what it needed to do… it just took a little extra work to get there. When Abigail was 27 days old, we were able to finally take her home for the first time and snuggle her without tubes, wires, and monitors in the way!"
Fundraising Spotlight
Costco Wholesale has been a national partner of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1987. Currently over 800 Warehouses, Depots, Call Centers, and Business Centers raise money for local children’s hospitals across the U.S. and Canada.
In the Inland Northwest, five warehouses raise money specifically for Providence Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. In 2023, those five warehouses raised just over $445,000 for our hospital. Every May, Costco participates in a month-long campaign. The simple ask to “round up” at cash registers is the primary source of fundraising. Costco Members are invited to donate when they check out. Members can also make donations at self-check-out, the food court and on Costco.com during the month of May—it’s the Month of Miracles!
