Celebration
Tops $922,000
The local Children’s Miracle Network Celebration Broadcast celebrated a total of $922,136 raised in the past year to benefit programs and services at the MCG Children’s Medical Center. During the June 3-4 weekend telethon alone, broadcast on NBC26, pledges and donations exceeded $29,000, surpassing last year’s pledges by more than $4,000.
“As our parents have told us many times, you never realize how important a children’s hospital is until you need it. But we can’t do our jobs without the support of our friends and neighbors,” said Connie Guinn, CMN director. “Thanks to the generosity of our community, our families, our staff and NBC26, this has truly been one of our most successful celebrations ever.”
