According to MVHS: “MVHS is dedicated to addressing the most challenging health issues of today while preventing and preparing for those to come tomorrow to ensure that every child in our community has a healthy future. Projects such as the $100,000 Miracle Drawing allow MVHS to raise the critical funds needed to continue to provide life-saving care, pediatric medical equipment and offer vital programs and services. All of the money raised stays in our community.”
Funds raised through this initiative are used locally by MVHS to provide pediatric care and purchase necessary medical equipment for children.
