The story

Children's Miracle Network began as a telethon in 1983. Shannon and Lake conceived the telethon with Schneider and Osmond serving as hosts. The first telethon raised $4.8 million for 22 hospitals. The telethon continued as a major fundraising arm for the organization for many years, and some hospital markets still use it today.

The organization rebranded to Children's Miracle Network in 2026, after going by Children's Miracle Network Hospitals since 2011, and Children's Miracle Network prior to that. Currently, CMN benefits the largest network of children's hospitals in both the U.S. and Canada. The organization's member hospitals provide 32 million treatments each year to children across the U.S. and Canada. Most of the organization's funding, totaling $9 billion, has been raised through the charity's "Miracle Balloon" campaign.
