Chances are, 1 in 4 children will be treated in a Children's Miracle Network hospital before they're 18. Why does your involvement in the Mike Weir Miracle Golf Drive for Kids matter? Because when you donate $25, $100 or $250 individually or are part of a larger group contribution, you're helping children get better, moving research to new levels of discovery, and helping families cope with a sick child.

Children's health care is on average 1.5 times more expensive than adult care. Every dollar makes a difference today and tomorrow. For the cost of a golf glove and a bag of tees, a gift of $25 can purchase books for a reading room or support life saving research. For the same cost of a round of golf you can help purchase much needed equipment. Just imagine, if all 144 golfers in a tournament chipped in $100, they'd raise almost enough money for a single brain MRI searching for tumors or other abnormalities, a procedure that could save a life.

The 14 partner Children's Miracle Network hospitals in Canada will see over 2.5 million children this year. Funds are critical for their immediate care today. They are equally important to ensure that caregivers, equipment and other services are there if you ever need them tomorrow.
