Children's Miracle Network Hospitals

As a member of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, CHKD partners with local businesses and organizations that raise money for medical care, equipment, research and training, and special programs to help us save and improve the lives of so many children throughout Hampton Roads, the Eastern Shore, and northeastern North Carolina.

Since 1983, CMNH has raised more than $9 billion, most of it $1 at a time. When a donation is made through a CMNH-sponsored activity, it stays in the community, helping local kids at CHKD. Click here to see how supporting CMNH campaigns benefits our patients and families.

Find ways to support us with your favorite retailers listed below.

To learn more about CMNH and our fundraising partners, visit CMNHospitals.org or contact Kate Ryan at Kate.Ryan@CHKD.org or (757) 668-9066.
