Valley Ace Hardware’s customers step up each year to support our community and our children by donating funds that enable the Children’s Miracle Network to serve our children and their families. The Children’s Miracle Network is a collection of non-profit hospitals dedicated to caring for children of all ages. They rely heavily on donations to provide the best care for the neediest children because Medicaid and other insurance programs don’t fully cover the cost of care.
A few facts about CMN:
1 in 10 children in North America are treated by a CMN Hospital each year (> 10 million)
62 children enter a CMN Hospital every minute
32 million patient visits are provided for 10 million kids every year by CMN Hospitals
