Donations stay local to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care. Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $5 billion, most of it $1 at a time through the charity's Miracle Balloon icon. Its various fundraising partners and programs support the nonprofit's mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

Thumbs Up Cancer Down
Why don’t we ask cancer patients what they need? Through feedback from these patients, we developed Thumbs Up, Power Up Packs. These care packages are delivered free-of-charge to people undergoing chemotherapy. They include personal comfort items, such as blankets, beanies, hand sanitizer, pens and journals, and battery-backup phone chargers. The majority of funds raised from individuals and corporate donors go toward the development and delivery of these Power Up Packs.
Links for Life
We're an organization that focuses on the positive. The Carol Barraza Women’s Health Resource Center was started in 1992 by Carol Barraza and Sharyn Woods to promote breast cancer awareness and provide services for women coping with cancer. We serve Kern County persons and families. Our Mission as an organization is to provide an organization to benefit persons and families affected by breast cancer, to challenge each woman in Kern County to be aware of her breast health and promote support for those affected, and to educate the general public about breast health.
