That’s a wrap on another incredible Miracle Marathon for Children's Wisconsin, presented by Mars Family Foundation!

Thank you to everyone who tuned in and supported Children’s life-saving care and vital community programs.

With your support, we raised more than $1,016,000 to provide hope and healing for kids and families across Wisconsin — and beyond.

From meeting patient families and care providers, to participating in special surprises for brave kids, to learning about the many ways Children’s makes an impact, we walked away inspired and energized to keep doing more for kids.

At Mars Family Foundation, we have the privilege of witnessing our founder’s deep passion for serving others come to life in meaningful ways every single day, and it’s that same passion that extends far beyond our work.

One example is reflected in the volunteer spotlight shared by Children’s Hospital, highlighting the volunteer efforts Sean so generously gives his time and heart to. We invite you to take a moment to read more and catch a glimpse of the heart for others that truly drives both him and our organization.

We couldn’t be more proud of our founder and the many ways he continues to show up, give back, and make a lasting difference in the lives of others.
