💛💙 $1 MILLION FOR LOCAL KIDS! A MILLION REASONS TO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES! 💙💛
What an incredible day for Children’s Miracle Network of Amarillo and the children and families of the Texas Panhandle!
We are beyond proud to announce a $1 MILLION gift to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Pediatric Fund for Excellence! This investment will help expand access to pediatric specialty care, strengthen local healthcare services, and ensure more children can receive the care they need right here at home. ❤️
One of the most meaningful moments of this announcement was hearing the Melugin family’s powerful testimony. Having walked through not one, but TWO childhood cancer diagnoses with their children, this family knows firsthand what it means to have access to exceptional medical care close to home.
Being able to stay near family, lean on their community, and receive support from CMN throughout their journey made an incredible difference. CMN was also honored to help cover a portion of the family’s medical bills during their children’s cancer diagnoses, easing some of the financial burden while they focused on their children’s care and recovery.
Their story is a beautiful reminder of WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO!
Because when a child is sick, families should be able to focus on what matters most—their child—not the added burden of traveling miles away for care or facing overwhelming medical expenses.
This $1 million investment is about making sure more children, just like the Melugins’, have access to specialty care, ongoing appointments, and the incredible physicians and nurses who dedicate their lives to caring for children in our community.
To the amazing team at Texas Tech Physicians and TTUHSC, THANK YOU for your commitment to our local kids and for continuing to build a stronger future for pediatric healthcare in the Panhandle!
And to every donor, business, volunteer, and community partner who supports CMN Amarillo—THIS IS WHAT YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES POSSIBLE! Every dollar raised locally stays local, helping provide critical medical care, financial assistance, and support for children and families right here in our region.
💛 More care. Closer to home. Brighter futures for local kids. 💙
