Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has announced financial support for programs of Beaumont Children's. One million dollars in grants have been be issued to enhance pediatric programs at Beaumont locations for spring/summer 2021. "For nearly 40 years, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has been a valued fundraising partner of the Beaumont Health Foundation," said Margaret Cooney Casey, president, Beaumont Health Foundation. "In that time, CMN donations of more than $75 million have helped Beaumont Children's pioneer new health care solutions for children and provide access to the latest research and technology." The success of the Beaumont Children's/CMN partnership relies upon the generosity of the entire community including support from corporate partners, individuals, and Beaumont team members. Corporate partners often reach out to their employees and customers through retail promotions, generating donations gathered one dollar at a time. Major corporate partners include: Speedway, Costco, Walmart and Sam's Club, Rite Aid, Ace Hardware, RE/MAX, Panda Express, Dairy Queen, and Marriott International. In 2020, the generosity of CMN's corporate partners extended beyond their fundraising programs to include meaningful donations of personal protective equipment, hot meals and snacks, iPads, tablets and other essential supplies to help Beaumont teams care for the community during the on-going pandemic.
