I am so
proud to announce that my office, RE/MAX Preferred has been a Miracle Office
for the last 15 years. A Miracle Office simply means that every closing we have
in our office and out of every commission, a donation is made to Children’s
Miracle Network (CMN) and all proceeds go to All Children’s Hospital, a
non-profit pediatric hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida.
All
Children’s Hospital, a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, is the most advanced
children’s hospital on Florida’s west coast and a U.S. News & World Report
Best Children’s Hospital, ranking in the Top 50 of three specialty areas. With
over 50 pediatric specialties and 259 beds, All Children’s is dedicated to
advancing children’s health through treatment, research, education and advocacy.
Programs that include a Clinical and Translational Research Organization,
pediatric biorepository and a new pediatric residency program are driving
innovation in personalized pediatric medicine and child health. A network of 10
outpatient care centers in eight counties along with affiliate programs at
regional hospitals makes All Children’s a leading provider of care for
Florida’s children.
Children’s
Miracle Network provide 32 million patient visits every year. One interesting
fact is that 62 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for
treatment every minute – that’s one child every second. And provide $3.4
billion in charity care annually.
You might be
asking yourself, “Where do all these donations go”? What’s raised, stays right
here, helping every single child that walks through the doors. Recently, on
April 18, 2015, Miss America contestants and volunteers joined forces and
participated in community service activities like visiting their local
Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, cleaning a park, beach or neighborhood,
assisting youth and senior organizations, visiting nursing homes or collecting
clothes, stocking food pantries or feeding the homeless – all while collecting
donations for the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.
I would like
to take this time to thank all of my clients and customers for their never
ending contributions and support of the Children’s Miracle Network, it warms my
heart to know that these individuals care as much as I do about such a
wonderful organization.
