Children's Miracle Network
The Children's Miracle Network is the national platform for the Miss America Organization. Each local contestant is also asked to raise funds for her local Children's Miracle Network Hospital. In Minnesota, our local hospital is Gillette Children's Hospital located in St. Paul! Having had the opportunity to visit and interact with the staff, patients, and families at Gillette, I have seen first hand where all of the fundraising dollars are going.
Honestly, each and every visit I have experienced there has been moving. The tenacity of the patients, and determination of the families is encouraging and inspiring. It reminds me to thank God every day for the undeserving blessings that I receive from him. It makes me remember to count my blessings and live life to the fullest. This is what every person at Gillette Children's Hospital does. Did you know that they DON'T TURN ANYONE AWAY? They care for people regardless of their financial situation.
Overall, I have been extremely impressed with this partnership the Miss America Organization has. My personal goal has been to raise 2,000 dollars by June 2012. If you feel moved or prompted to give any financial assistance please do so with this link:
