Donate To This Event
For over four decades, the Children's Miracle Network Telethon has brought our community together to raise vital funds and awareness for pediatric healthcare at Penn State Health Children's Hospital. Each year, your generosity helps provide critical treatments, life-saving medical equipment, and charitable care to children and families in need.
This year, we raised an incredible $352,464 with your help! The broadcast featured heartfelt interviews with young patients and their families, dedicated care providers, and our amazing community partners.
Watch the Finale Replay
Throughout the week, we highlighted inspiring stories of children who have received care at Penn State Health Children's Hospital – like Miracle Champion Gannon! Gannon also designed the 2025 exclusive Telethon t-shirt, given to donors who pledge $35/month or make a one-time gift of $420.
Every dollar brings hope. Every story shows why it matters.
Your Gift Makes a Difference – Right Where It's Needed Most
At Children's Miracle Network, we're committed to making every dollar count. Through thoughtful planning, accountability, and transparency, your contributions help us deliver the highest quality care to sick and injured children in our region.
One powerful example of your impact is the Child Life program at Penn State Health Children's Hospital. Hospital visits can be overwhelming – especially for kids. That's where Child Life comes in. This essential program helps children and their families navigate medical care with confidence and comfort. Through age-appropriate play, education, and emotional support, Child Life specialists ease anxiety and make each hospital experience a little less scary.
When you give, you're not just donating. You're helping children heal – with dignity, understanding, and hope.
Your Support Fuels Health, Access, and Opportunity
We believe every child deserves the chance to thrive. Your donation helps make that possible – by funding programs that promote long-term health, education, and happiness.
- Medical camps give kids with special needs a week of play, creativity, and confidence-building.
- Scholarships support the next generation of healthcare providers.
- Community gardens bring fresh, healthy food to families in underserved areas.
Every dollar helps create a healthier, more inclusive future – for every child.
Donor Dollars Bring Lifesaving Technology
Thanks to donors like you, children in our region now have access to a new pediatric ambulance – a fully equipped mobile intensive care unit. With advanced features like a transport isolette, pediatric ventilator, and enhanced oxygen system, it delivers critical care on the move. Your support helps bring high-tech healing where it's needed most.
