<strong>Arkansas</strong> Children’s <strong>Hospital</strong> is a proud<br />
member of Children’s Miracle Network, a nonprofit<br />
organization dedicated to helping kids by<br />
raising funds for 170 children’s hospitals across<br />
North America. Children’s Miracle Network<br />
funds raised in <strong>Arkansas</strong>, north Louisiana, eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma<br />
benefit ACH.<br />
Children’s Miracle Network national sponsors raise money at the local level<br />
with fundraising activities led by employees and supported by members of the<br />
community. The grassroots efforts add up quickly and, in 2009, resulted in a<br />
total donation of more than $2.9 million. These sponsors are key in helping<br />
the hospital provide care, love and hope to every child, every day.<br />
