The recent Penn State Health Children’s Week was a huge success, culminating in a heartwarming check presentation at a Hershey Bears Game. The Miracle Family the Hortons were present, along with Jeffrey Horton, Leidra Horton, Lex Horton, and Miracle Child Daisy Horton. The total amount raised for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital during the week was an impressive $100,170.
These generous gifts will go towards supporting CMN’s Patient Assistance Endowment, which provides essential support to patients and their families facing unexpected challenges. This includes meal and gas vouchers, medical devices, specialty medication, and other forms of relief during difficult times when families are struggling to meet their basic needs.
One family who benefited from the support provided by CMN’s Patient Assistance Endowment was the Yoders. Joshua Yoder spent 18 days at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital battling a respiratory virus. His mom, Jean Yoder, was by his side throughout his stay and thanks to the assistance provided by CMN she was able to focus on Joshua’s recovery while still taking care of herself.
The Patient Assistance Endowment is more than just a financial resource; it acts as a lifeline for families struggling to meet their basic needs during challenging times. The support provided by CMN allows families to navigate the difficulties of having a child in the hospital with greater ease and peace of mind.
Campaign sponsors for this fundraising effort included Ace Hardware, The GIANT Company, Woodstream, McClure Company, Bobby Rahal Toyota, United Concordia, Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe LLP and Cumulus Media.
