Miracle Gala 2025 was an extraordinary success, bringing together more than 330 attendees who united in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) projects and services. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised just over $200,000 — our highest total to date! Over the past three years, the Miracle Gala has collectively raised more than $490,000, a testament to the unwavering support of our community.
During the event, we proudly recognized Mid-West Family La Crosse as the recipient of this year’s Miracle Achievement Award. Their unwavering dedication and partnership with our Radiothon over the past four years have helped raise more than $430,000 for CMN. Watch the video here.
Abby Ryan, CMN Hospitals specialist, Gundersen Medical Foundation, expressed her gratitude, stating, “The passion and commitment of Mid-West Family La Crosse are nothing short of inspiring. We are honored to celebrate their incredible impact on the lives of children and families in our community.”
With the outstanding generosity of our community and event attendees, we successfully funded the Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program through the Fund a Miracle event. The Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program is an intensive, short-term program is designed for adolescents aged 13 to 18 who require therapy for various mental health issues. Running for three weeks, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., it offers a comprehensive therapeutic experience led by master-level therapists and occupational therapists.
Participants engage in group-based therapies, individual and family therapy, and medication management, all aimed at fostering healing and growth. We also collaborate with schools to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of care, ultimately reducing the need for inpatient stays.
The evening featured an inspirational video showcasing our five hero families, who shared their journeys and highlighted how CMN Hospitals funding and programs provided crucial support during their most unimaginable challenges.
