The 19th annual Miracle Ball, a shared project of Arkansas Children’s Foundation and Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) Auxiliary, raised more than $1 million, benefiting ACH.
Members of the ACH Auxiliary support Arkansas Children’s programs by volunteering their time and generating statewide donations. Money raised from Miracle Ball will go towards the $6.25 million commitment the auxiliary made in support of the expansion project last year.
“Each year since 1967, the ACH Auxiliary has not only grown in numbers but also in heart and dedication to the children we serve,” said Brooke Hicks, ACH Auxiliary president. “We know this commitment would not be possible without the incredible support of our community, sponsors, patrons and our chairs. We are truly thankful for the role they play in making healthier tomorrows.”
In fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024), Arkansas Children’s served 180,000 children — more children than ever before — and the need for services continues to grow. The $318 million expansion across Arkansas Children’s focuses on delivering better access, exceptional outcomes, and improved on-campus experiences at the state’s nationally ranked pediatric health system.
