Welcome to the LA Marriott Business Council's 2016 online silent auction, benefiting the children locally served by Children's Miracle Network and Children's Hospital Los Angeles!
On Saturday, November 12, 2016, the Los Angeles Marriott Business Council will host this year’s CMN Torch Relay at the beautiful Miramar Park in Redondo Beach, CA.
Marriott International businesses and their associates in North America help raise funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals raises funds and awareness for 170 member hospitals that provide $32 million in treatments each year to kids across the U.S. and Canada. Donations stay local to fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and charitable care. Since 1983, CMNH has raised more than $5 billion, most of it $1 at a time through the charity's Miracle Balloon icon. With help from their generous corporate partners and programs, CMNH is able to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible. In collaboration with guests, associates, and business partners such as you, Marriott has raised over $110 million to help children needing hospitalization in our local communities. Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is a proud member of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The Los Angeles Marriott Business Council has made a commitment to generate funds for ailing and injured children in our local community, treated at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Last year, the Business Council raised $209,000!
Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution that provides pediatric health care to more than 111,000 children each year in a setting designed just for their needs. Their history began in 1901 in a small house on the corner of Alpine and Castelar Streets (now Hill St. in Chinatown) and today their medical experts offer more than 350 pediatric specialty programs and services to meet the needs of their patients. CHLA is a provider of more than $232.6 million in community benefits annually to children and families. As the first and largest pediatric hospital in Southern California, CHLA relies on the generosity of philanthropists in the community to support compassionate patient care, leading-edge education of the caregivers of tomorrow and innovative research efforts that impact children at their hospital and around the world.
The Torch Relay for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals is a unique multi-day event where participants join in their local segment of The Torch Relay to raise money for their area CMN Hospital.
The Torch Relay began in 2002 as a continuous relay starting in Miami, Florida and ending in Orlando, Florida. In 2003, the event was expanded to include northern Florida and Georgia. The first coast-to-coast Relay was held in 2005 and has continued to grow every year since. From the simple beginnings of the event, The Torch Relay for CMN Hospitals has raised over $11 million dollars for children's hospitals nationwide.
The Torch Relay for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. The Torch Relay is an all-volunteer organization and participant funds benefit the local CMN Hospital in the city where they were raised.
