To generate funds and awareness programs for the benefit of sick and injured children and its member hospitals.

CMN is an alliance of children's hospitals throughout the United States and Canada. CMN serves its member hospitals by raising funds and awareness of health care needs of children and youth and the people and institutions that care for them. CMN's public education program develops, produces, broadcasts and promotes an annual television broadcast and other informational materials which inform the public on issues concerning health, welfare, and development needs of children. With the network support/professional education program, CMN develops relationships with corporate partners to create fund raising programs including employee and customer donations, coin canisters, walks, golf tournaments, bake sales, etc. Participating hospitals use funds raised for new equipment, capital expansion, patient services, research programs, and health education programs. CMN also develops community education programs making them available to participating children's hospitals.
