The first weekend in June – or, Miracle Weekend, as we’ve dubbed it – brings us the chance to celebrate the great strides we’ve made together. We select a handful of patients with gripping stories and are delighted to introduce them to you as our Miracle Kids; their candid accounts represent those of hundreds of other children treated at Golisano Children’s Hospital every year. Again, it’s your constant support that’s helping make these miracles happen.

Check your calendar and be sure to mark down these dates: June 1 and 2 for the 24th annual telethon and 11th annual Stroll for Strong Kids.

Children’s Miracle Network Telethon on 10NBC

Proudly producing our 24th annual CMN telethon, 10NBC will broadcast live from the Strong Memorial Hospital lobby. The telethon serves as a platform for parents and children, including the families of our five Miracle Kids, to share their stories of trials turned triumph at Golisano Children’s Hospital at Strong.

This year’s telethon will be held Saturday, June 2, from 4 to 8 p.m., and Sunday, June 3, 7 to 10 p.m. To make a gift during the event, please dial 585-241-KIDS (5437).

Stroll for Strong Kids

Our 11th annual Stroll for Strong Kids promises a surefire way to kick-start your Saturday morning with loads of family fun – clowns, inflatable toys, special characters, and a scenic 2-mile walk, topped off with a free lunch courtesy of Subway and a dance-worthy concert by Gary the Happy Pirate. Help us meet our goal of 2,200 walkers and $250,000.

The fun begins with registration at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 2. For more information on how you or a team of friends can register – or on how to support your favorite Stroll team, click here or call (585) 273-5948
