My Miracle Birthday: Donated Birthdays Benefit CMN Hospitals Patients
SALT LAKE CITY (June 15, 2017) — Beginning June 15, individuals can sign up for My Miracle Birthday and share their birthday to generate donations for their choice of one of 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The national initiative encourages participants to designate a member CMN Hospital and invite friends and family members to make a donation, in lieu of gifts, that will help kids treated at the local member hospital.
My Miracle Birthday offers a unique and tailored program for participants interested in sharing their birthday. Participants join the peer-to-peer donation site, which provides resources and an online fundraising platform for an immersive donor experience.
Donations to CMN Hospitals provide pediatric equipment, research, treatment and services, charitable care and more for local kids. Those interested in donating their birthday may visit MyMiracleBirthday.org to register their birthday.
“Whether you’re young or not-so-young, birthdays are a cause for celebration,” said John Lauck, president and CEO of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “The My Miracle Birthday program is a selfless way to help more kids celebrate more milestones.”
Visit MyMiracleBirthday.org to learn how kids, parents and community members can use their birthdays to help local children’s hospitals provide the life-saving care they’re known for.
