🎉 Way to go, Walmart Helena! 🎉

We are so excited to celebrate the Helena Walmart team for raising an incredible $14,600+ during their June and July Children's Miracle Network campaign! 💙🙌

Every dollar donated at the register helps make Shodair’s care and support for Montana kids and families possible. Children’s Miracle Network funds help provide resources like school-based learning materials, access to art and music therapy, and support for therapy programs that help our patients heal, grow, and thrive while they’re at Shodair.

We truly couldn’t do this work without incredible Children’s Miracle Network partners like Walmart and the generous Montana communities who choose to give. Your support stays local and makes a real difference for kids right here in our state. 💙

👏 Congratulations, Helena Walmart, and thank you for going above and beyond for Montana kids!

The next time you’re checking out at Walmart, consider rounding up at the register or making a donation to Children’s Miracle Network. Every little bit adds up to big impact! 🥰

Thank you for helping make brighter futures possible for Montana kids! 💙

🍦💙 September is all about rounding up for kids!

All month long, when you visit your local Dairy Queen, you can choose to Round Up for Kids and help support local children and families at Shodair Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network. ❤️

Every extra cent adds up to make a BIG difference- helping provide the care, resources and hope Montana kids need, right here at home.

So next time you’re grabbing your favorite Blizzard, burger or DQ treat, don’t forget to round up your total for kids! 🥰

📅 Round Up for Kids runs ALL September long!

Let’s make every purchase count and round up for a reason. 💙

🌺🌴 Aloha, fun! 🌴🌺

Our Shodair Kids Carnival was a day full of sunshine, smiles, and plenty of luau-themed fun! 🎉 From the dunk tank and face painting to carnival games, popcorn, juice, and the always-popular pie-in-the-face station, there was something for everyone to enjoy! 🥧🎨🍿

The kids also got to visit our petting zoo and spend some time with our very special service dog, Baymax! 🐾💙

It was the perfect day to celebrate our incredible kids and give them a chance to play, laugh, and make some fun memories together. 🌺☀️

A special thank you to for generously donating $500 to help make this day possible! Your support helped bring the fun to life, and we truly couldn’t have done it without you. 💙

Mahalo to everyone who helped make our Kids Carnival such a special day! 💙

Take Thunder To....

Thunder has been putting on some miles! Our Take Thunder To campaign continues, and this adventurous bison has added a few more exciting stops to his travels.

This time, Thunder felt the roar at the Monster Truck Races at the Lewis and Clark County Fairgrounds, checked out the construction happening at Kessler Elementary on Helena’s west side, and even made it to Ball Arena in Denver—home of the Denver Nuggets.

Where will Thunder turn up next? Keep taking him along on your adventures, snap a photo and tag Shodair or send your pictures to [email protected]. By submitting a photo, you give Shodair permission to share it.

Don’t have a Thunder yet? Pick up your Thunder stuffie at Shodair’s front desk, Monday–Friday from 8 a.m.–5 p.m.

A moment we’ll never forget. ⚾️💙 Our champ Luke took the mound and threw out the first pitch—and absolutely owned the moment! We’re so proud to have him representing Shodair! 💛

⚾️ What a night at the ballpark! ❤️

Our 2026 Children’s Miracle Network Champion Child, Luke, had an absolute blast at the Great Falls Voyagers game, where he got the exciting opportunity to throw out the first pitch! 🎉

Luke also got to meet Orbit, the Great Falls Voyagers mascot, and even went home with a baseball signed by one of the players. Talk about a night to remember! ⚾️🧢

A huge THANK YOU to Great Falls DQ for choosing Shodair as your nonprofit of the night and for supporting Montana kids and families through Children’s Miracle Network. And thank you to the Great Falls Voyagers for being so welcoming and making Luke’s night extra special! ❤️

We’re so grateful for community partners who help create memories like these while making a difference for kids across Montana. 💙
