Kids Making Miracles 2009-2010 - OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital

It began as a simple coin drive in one area elementary school. Today, 20 years later, hundreds of area K-12 students at schools throughout Oregon and southwest Washington have helped the Kids Making Miracles (KMM) program raise more than $7 million for OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. In the process they have learned valuable lessons about the value of philanthropy.
Every year, KMM engages kids in community fundraising programs across the region. Through everything from bake sales to pageants, KMM kids are raising serious money for the hospital. What's more, they are developing their own organizational and communication skills while gaining early exposure to the power of philanthropy to help others in need.
