Events & Announcements

Walmart and Sam’s Club associates, customers and members throughout the Gulf Coast know how to put the fun in ‘fun’draising! Thank you for investing your money where the miracles are during the annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraising campaign, benefitting the Studer Family Children’s Hospital. Funds were primarily raised through the stores’ register campaign, where customers and members contributed $1 or more at checkout. Through the collective impact of every donation, more than $200,000 was raised to help our local children and families live better.

Thank you for being a difference-maker!

On Feb. 29, students at the University of West Florida set a record high in fundraising for their Dance Marathon movement by raising $87,838.21 #ForTheKids at Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart, your local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. The students put in hard work and dedication over the past year to make this night a success. We are forever grateful for their caring hearts and passion for our Children's Hospitals. Twenty-one years ago, Preemie Cup started with a mom’s desire to give back to the NICU that saved her daughter’s life. Today, the event has grown to include a sailing regatta, stand-up paddleboard relay, fishing tournament and silent auction. This year, it raised $88,672. All proceeds benefit children in the care of the Level II and Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Units at the Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart. We extend our thanks and gratitude to Destin Charity Wine Auction for their $175,000 support of our new Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast as part of their $2 million pledge. Because of you, we are now able to provide care to our youngest patients along the Emerald Coast.
