History

Historical Context

In 1981, Marie Osmond and actor John Schneider co-founded Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals to channel donations to pediatric care across the United States. The network, embraced by youth groups such as Key Club (which named CMNH a preferred charity after its 1946 start) and Sigma Chi in 1992, has raised about $7 billion and underpins recent pledges like Tom Golisano’s $225 million to expand pediatric hospitals.
