Children’s Miracle Network Hospital

Children's Miracle Network Hospital Award

Children’s Miracle Network Hospital's goal is to raise funds for children’s hospitals and to keep the funds in the community in which they were raised to help local children. The organization was founded in 1983 by Marie Osmond and her family, John Schneider, Mick Shannon, and Joe Lake. As of 2011, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $4.3 billion—most of which is donated a dollar or two at a time. Its most recognizable symbol and greatest fundraising tool is its red and yellow Miracle Balloon icon.

Sketch for Original Children's Miracle Network Hospital Awards

MK Shannon Awards and Rewards specializes in the creation of awards that are crafted using a company's logo. That is what was done for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The logo provided to us was used all over North America as their symbol. This is the second rendition of the logo over the past several years. This project has been in place since 2007. The old logo is a familiar site in stores all over the nation where individuals donate a dollar or more and place their name on a paper balloon that is displayed on the wall of the store after each donation is made.

Original Version of Award for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals

The more modern version from 2011 represents a more contemporary “balloon”. Once the company provided the new logo, it was just a matter of weeks before the new design was modeled, molded, and cast.

The awards were created to honor various donors each year.
