2 Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals is a collection of 170 Childrens Hospitals across the United States and Canada. The money raised helps to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all in support of the mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible. Mercy Childrens Hospital Mercy Childrens Hospital is a part of Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, OH. This childrens hospital is special because they do not turn families away due to inability to pay. This is why the funds raised by Dance Marathon are so important. Dance Marathon Nationwide Dance Marathon takes place at over 150 colleges and universities nationwide. It is the largest student-run philanthropy project in the country, and it began at Indiana University in 1991 after the death of Ryan White, an AIDS patient.
