UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network 2025 Mediathon Raises $135,452 to Improve Child Care in Siouxland
Siouxland made miracles happen for local children during the UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network 2025 Mediathon event from May 6 through May 8. The three-day event was broadcasted live on KTIV and Powell Broadcasting radio stations as the community pledged their support to our local Children’s Miracle Network. A total of $135,452 was raised by the community, supporters and sponsors for the kids of Siouxland.
“The overwhelming support at this year’s event is a testament to the power of community and the shared belief in giving every child the chance at a healthier future,” says Stacey Selk, director of the UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network. “We are deeply grateful for everyone who contributed to this incredible event.”
This year’s event featured powerful stories of Siouxland children and families who have been impacted by gifts to Children’s Miracle Network. Their stories were shared by this year’s media partners. The event also included the annual basket raffle where 47 creative baskets were available to win by purchasing raffle tickets at $1 per ticket. Many of these baskets were donated by UnityPoint Health employees and departments and more than 21,000 raffle tickets were sold.
The generosity of the Siouxland community helps change the lives of over 42,000 pediatric visits each year with 100% of the funds raised during Mediathon will stay locally. This year funds will be used for pediatric outpatient therapy supplies and toys, a new Spot Vision Screener for the UnityPoint Clinic Family Medicine - Sunnybrook, breastfeeding supplies for the UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Baby Weigh Clinic and more.
