Make a GiftHow Your Dollars Make Miracles
The Pediatrics Department at the University of Kansas Medical Center is proud to be the local CMN Hospital in the Greater Kansas City area. The funds raised through CMN events go directly to fund pediatric research initiatives taking place exclusively at KU Medical Center. In addition, funds help sick and injured children being treated at the University of Kansas Health System. These dollars are used to pay for charitable care, equipment, supplies and educational programs
In Our House: Play is the Best Medicine!
You can feel the child’s energy and excitement on pet therapy days or when they sing a song written just for them. Therapies are a motivating factor and help take a child’s mind off the challenge they’re facing. Play, music and pet therapies aren’t necessarily about the instrument, song, toy or game – it’s the power and energy achieved through therapies that are important.
But no hospital stay is easy. Children’s Miracle Network KC Heartland strives to help each child cope with tools they understand – play, music, art and pets. The comfort we provide brings joy and a sense of normalcy.
Support from donors just like you has a powerful impact on a child’s outlook and changes what they remember about the hospital. Children’s Miracle Network KC Heartland donors have a profound impact on children every day in our region, making the best, compassionate care possible for every child who walks through the door.
Help make compassionate care available to a child – maybe even one you know and love – by donating today. All funds donated stay local and help families being treated on the KU Medical Center Campus. Click on the link to see our therapies in action:
Walmart & Sam's Club-Fundraising to Help Kids Live Better
Walmart & Sam’s Club associates pulled out all the stops to raise funds during their campaign to Help Kids Live Better. Beginning on June 12 and working tirelessly
for nearly 5 weeks, associates in every location asked their customers to join them in their support of families at KU Medical Center by asking for donations throughout the stores. Customers were given the opportunity to give no matter how they shopped or checked out: through the traditional check-out line, self-check-out, online grocery pick-up or even when they made a purchase online.
In addition to the donations they were raising from their generous customers, associates planned a variety of events for their employees (and customers!) to participate in and have a little fun during this busy time. From dressing in crazy costumes, hosting cookouts and hosting food trucks, the stores continue to be very creative in how they are raising funds to help the kids!
Thank you to each and every associate at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Walmart Neighborhood Market and Walmart Transportation & Distribution Centers!
Cheers to a Summer of Miracles for KU Medical Center

Many thanks to everyone who visited their neighborhood Dairy Queen to support one of our favorite days of the year. We appreciate the over 40 DQ locations who generously donated a portion of their Blizzard sales to KU Medical Center.
Ace Bucket Sales: Words of encouragement, thanks and fun drawings by some of our miracle kids kicked off the Ace Bucket weekend in August.
