Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

As a proud and active member of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) since 1984, Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital receives financial support from a wide array of generous and civic-minded retail businesses across Central and Northern New York and the Southern Tier.

Through various creative and diligent fundraising activities these businesses generate thousands of dollars each year to help improve the care of the region’s sick and injured children. CMNH retail campaigns also provide important community outreach, raising awareness and goodwill around the mission of the Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital.

The Upstate Foundation expresses heartfelt appreciation to its retail and CMNH partners.
