UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network 2023 Mediathon Raises $118,155 To Enhance Health Care For Children In Siouxland
Siouxland made miracles happen for local children during the UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network 2023 Mediathon event from March 28 through March 30. The three-day event was broadcasted live on KG95 and KTIV as the community pledged their support to our local Children’s Miracle Network. A total of $118,155 was raised by our community, supporters and sponsors for the kids of Siouxland.
“We’re thrilled at the success of this year’s Mediathon event,” says Stacey Selk, Director of the UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network. “All of the proceeds will stay here locally to help improve the outcomes of our pediatric patients and their families. It is truly amazing to see the outpouring of support we have for our Siouxland area children.”
The generosity of the Siouxland community helps change the lives of over 22,000 pediatric visits at UnityPoint Health - Sioux City each year. Mediathon pledges will be used for a new ultrasound machine in our Maternal Fetal Medicine clinic, as well as some new dental equipment for our surgery department. Stories of Siouxland children and families who have been impacted by gifts to Children’s Miracle Network were shared throughout the event.
This event has raised more than $1.4 million in the first 20 years through sponsorships, personal pledges, donated items and gift basket raffles. This year’s basket raffle included 50 creative baskets with most valued at around $300.
