Children's Miracle Network Hershey

Last week, Children’s Miracle Network had the pleasure of joining Ollie's Bargain Outlet, Inc. for their annual Spring meeting. We were joined by Miracle Champion Gannon and his family, who shared their powerful story about how donor dollars helped save Gannon’s life during his time in the NICU at Penn State Health Children's Hospital. Thanks to Ollie’s in-store fundraising campaigns, children like Gannon — and countless others — receive the lifesaving, high-quality care they need. Those donations stay local and directly impact families in their own communities. 🎨 And speaking of amazing… Gannon surprised us with his incredible drawing of Ollie! 🗓️ Mark your calendars: Ollie’s next register campaign runs May 18–June 13 — let’s make it the best one yet!

Today, we're proud to recognize one of our exceptional advisory board members, Don Sites – a mission-driven leader with a passion for helping children and families in need. Don is guided by a simple but powerful belief: People don't just want to give – they want to see their support in action. That belief fuels his work with Children's Miracle Network at Penn State Health Children's Hospital, where he helps bridge the gap between generous donors and the children and families who benefit from their support. His leadership has played a key role in driving fundraising growth, expanding our reach, and deepening our impact. ➡️ Learn how he's using his time and talent to make a lasting difference: https://bit.ly/4cLZoYY

🎈Today kicks off Penn State Health Children's Week – a week dedicated to lifting up families in need. After a sudden accident, Miracle Child Harper was rushed to Penn State Health Children's Hospital for urgent surgery. Her parents spent long nights by her bedside, too worried to think about their own needs—until Patient Assistance provided meal vouchers. With a warm meal and a moment to recharge, they found the strength to keep going. You can give that same relief to other families in crisis. Just $20 provides two hot meals for parents facing the unthinkable. Donate today at: https://bit.ly/CW25Social #PennStateHealthChildrensWeek
