Credit unions care for their communities and Credit Unions for Kids demonstrates this care. Children's Miracle Network is an international nonprofit organizations whose mission is to generate funds and awareness programs to benefit children and 170 affiliated hospitals for children in the United States and Canada. CMN's hallmark is that 100 percent of locally-generated donations stay in the community in which they were made to benefit participating hospitals. They pride themselves on treating the whole child and render service based on need, not a family's ability to pay. CMN's fund raising efforts climax each year with a television special called Children's Miracle Celebration, broadcast live from Walt Disney World in Orlando.
