Supporting Care for Local Kids
At the Sanford Health Foundation, we’re grateful for the Children’s Miracle Network partners who help make extraordinary care possible for local children and families.
Through point-of-sale campaigns, employee giving, community fundraising and other charitable initiatives, these partners make it easy for customers and communities to support local children and families who rely on Sanford Children’s Hospitals in Sioux Falls and Fargo and Marshfield Children’s Hospital for care each year.
Every dollar raised stays local to help kids and families receive the care they need, close to home.
