The American Cancer Society. In 1913, 10 physicians and five laymen founded the American Society for the Control of Cancer. Its stated purpose was to "disseminate knowledge concerning the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of cancer; to investigate conditions under which cancer is found; and to compile statistics in regard thereto." Later renamed the American Cancer Society, Inc., the organization now consists of over 2 million Americans working to conquer cancer.
A Children's Miracle Network is there, in your community, prepared to help. And every hospital, from Honolulu, Hawaii to St. John's, Newfoundland holds this public trust: All children are treated regardless of the family's ability to pay.
CMN was founded in 1983 to help our affiliated hospitals preserve that public trust. Our mission is to "generate funds and awareness programs to benefit children and our affiliated hospitals." It's a worthy cause that touches us all. What
sets Children's Miracle Network apart is our founding pledge that 100 percent of all donations stay in the area where they were made. A pledge we still live by. You can help.
Your donation of money or time empowers CMN to aid seven million children every year.
