Chairman
Children’s Miracle Network
Board of Trustees
Helping children to overcome the odds is what Children’s Miracle Network is all about...the odds of disease
and illness, the potential for death from a preventable accident, and the possibility of a serious injury. Our
organization has the best odds to reach out to million of kids and their families, providing tangible help
through the hospitals that serve kids and raising the awareness of all those who can give voice to the needs of
our children.
Children’s Miracle Network would like to see every year become a landmark year for children. This is the
reason we exist: to help children—all children. And we continually strive to improve so we can better fulfill
this mission. I’m proud to report that Children’s Miracle Network made significant progress during 2008.
For example:
•
•
•
•
Through the compassionate efforts of countless individuals, sponsors and media partners, Children’s
Miracle Network raised $243 million for children’s hospitals, a remarkable feat in the current economy.
According to an unaided awareness survey, Children’s Miracle Network is the sixth most recognized
children’s charity in North America.
Children’s Miracle Network is ranked first when it comes to the overall number of children impacted by
its fundraising each year—17 million.
National fundraising programs like Radiothon, Telethon, Dance Marathon and Direct Mail increased by
4 percent in 2008.
But to focus on our achievements—as impressive as they are—misses the point. There is much more to
be done. Many families are suffering financially. Parents devastated by sudden loss of income are often
postponing care that could prevent an illness—simply because they can’t afford a doctor’s visit or a needed
prescription. As a result, about half of all children’s hospitals are seeing an increase in emergency visits.
What’s more, 70 percent of children’s hospitals have had to give more charity care and take on more debt.
And yet 57 percent of hospitals are receiving fewer charitable contributions—the money just isn’t coming in
fast enough to help all children who need miracles.
Our goal is to meet the needs of children’s hospitals by cultivating more partnerships, initiating more gifts and
providing more funds for the care of children throughout the world. This report gives you a brief snapshot of
our successes in 2008 and how we are aligning ourselves to provide more value to more children in the future.

Mission
Children’s Miracle Network’s mission is to generate funds and awareness
programs in partnership with and for the benefit of member hospitals/
foundations and the children they are privileged to serve.
Children’s Miracle Network is an international non-profit organization that raises funds for more than 170
children’s hospitals. Countless individuals, organizations and media partners unite with Children’s Miracle
Network hospitals to help sick and injured kids in local communities. Donations to Children’s Miracle Network
create miracles by funding medical care, research and education that save and improve the lives of 17 million
children each year.
Partner Hospitals
Children’s Miracle Network raises funds for its member hospitals to use in addressing the most critical children’s
health care needs in their respective communities. Funds raised through Children’s Miracle Network for its 170
children’s hospitals are provided to each hospital solely as discretionary funds.
Through these hospitals, Children’s Miracle Network funds are used for a wide variety of hospital programs and
services. A sampling of these programs and services includes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pediatric research for cancer treatments
Sickle cell anemia and juvenile diabetes treatment
Critical and urgent care units
Pediatric and neonatal intensive care support
Staffing and medical training to meet children’s unique health care needs
Life-flight helicopters and other emergency vehicles
Capital expansion of existing facilities to meet children’s medical needs in a given area
Community outreach, prevention and awareness programs ranging from immunizations and childhood obesity
education to bicycle safety clinics and accident prevention programs
In 2008 more than $243 million was raised under the Children’s Miracle Network umbrella to support these and
other programs and services administered by member children’s hospitals.

2008 Hospital Highlights
Children’s Miracle Network funds are used to ensure that children’s hospitals have the resources they
need 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Here are some examples of how Children’s Miracle Network funds
are used to provide specialized pediatric care.
Just three days after birth, 4-year-old
Atticus went into cardiac arrest. He
faced several complications: kidney
and liver problems, brain damage and
a serious lung condition. Atticus finally
received a heart transplant and began
to heal. Children’s Miracle Network
funds helped pay for surgeries, inpatient care, and the heart-lung
machine that kept him alive.
A life-support
machine
for a child
needing a heart
transplant costs
approximately
*$60,000.
After choosing to undergo a risky
bone marrow transplant, 14-year-old
Kimmi was the first patient at her
hospital and one of only 100 children
to be cured of sickle cell anemia, a
lifelong disorder that causes constant
pain and organ damage. Donations
to Children’s Miracle Network helped
fund research for the procedure that is
saving more children’s lives.
A bone marrow
transplant costs
approximately
*$223,000.
Katie was in a plane crash and was
transported by ambulance to her
closest children’s hospital. After
months of surgeries and therapy,
17-year-old Katie made an amazing
recovery. Children’s Miracle Network
funded the recreational therapy
program that kept her motivated and
positive through it all. Said Katie, “The
most important lesson I learned is that
accidents happen, but so do miracles.”
A specialized
pediatric
ambulance
costs up to
*$350,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
Children’s Miracle Network (the Organization) is a charitable organization, qualified under Section
501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, organized for the purposes of:
1. Making distributions to other charitable organizations.
2. Supporting fundraising for the benefit of sick and injured children and youth, including
treatment, health care research, and acquisition of health care equipment and supplies.
3. Generating awareness programs concerning the health care needs of children and youth and
the institutions and people who care for them.
4. Generating educational programs to promote good health care practices for children and
youth; educating the public in the health care needs of children and youth; and educating the
public in the needs and practices of institutions and people who provide health care to them.
Children’s Miracle Network raises awareness of children’s health care needs and supports fundraising
for nonprofit children’s hospitals. The Organization facilitates fundraising for member children’s
hospitals by 1) establishing and maintaining relationships with corporate and media partners and 2)
creating, maintaining and facilitating fundraising programs that are executed by corporate, media and
hospital partners to benefit children’s health care. The majority of fundraising solicitations are made by
Children’s Miracle Network partners—corporate sponsors, media sponsors and member hospitals.
Contributions solicited through corporate-sponsored campaigns and through Children’s Miracle
Network programs are generally received by Children’s Miracle Network, acting as an agent, and then
paid to member hospitals. Children’s Miracle Network has no discretionary variance power over the
distribution of such contributions and, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 136, Transfers of Assets to a Not-for-Profit Organization or Charitable Trust that Raises or Holds
Contributions for Others, such contributions are not reflected as revenues in Children’s Miracle Network’s
financial statements. Children’s Miracle Network’s campaign year is January 1 through December 31.
Contributions are distributed to member hospitals quarterly.
To participate in an upcoming year’s fundraising and awareness campaign, hospitals pay a membership
fee and license the use of the Children’s Miracle Network name and logo. They become sole
Children’s Miracle Network licensees in their respective markets (geographic areas); the funds raised
within these markets are unrestricted funds and may be used by member hospitals as needed. Most
funds raised benefit patients, pediatric programs, equipment and ongoing research to create better
treatments and cure childhood diseases. Corporate sponsors need not become licensees; however, they
are generally required to donate all funds they raise to hospitals affiliated with Children’s Miracle
Network.
Children’s Miracle Network’s operational activities are primarily supported by hospital membership
fees, mentioned above, and corporate underwriting. Corporate underwriting represents donations from
corporate sponsors to Children’s Miracle Network.

August 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements follows.
1.
Basis of presentation
The Organization presents its accounts in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Audit and Accounting Guide for Not-for-Profit Organizations (Audit Guide). Under the
Audit Guide, not-for-profit organizations are required to provide a statement of financial position, a
statement of activities, and a statement of cash flows which are prepared to focus on the organization as
a whole and to present balances and transactions according to the existence or absence of donorimposed restrictions. Not-for-profit organizations are required to report total assets, liabilities, and net
assets in a statement of financial position; change in net assets in a statement of activities; and changes
in cash and cash equivalents in a statement of cash flows. The Audit Guide also requires that not-forprofit organizations report expenses by their functional classification, such as major programs and
supporting activities. The Organization presents expenses by functional classification in a statement of
functional expenses.
The Organization maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting. Net assets and revenues,
gains and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified as follows:
Permanently restricted net assets
Net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that they be maintained permanently by the
Organization. Generally, the donors of these assets permit the institution to use all or part of the
income earned on related investments for general or specific purposes. As of August 31, 2008 and
August 31, 2007, Children’s Miracle Network has received $1,813,338 and $818,913, respectively, of
resources which have been classified as permanently restricted net assets. Children’s Miracle Network
has an ongoing long-term funding campaign to benefit its endowment fund. Endowment contributions
received are classified as permanently restricted net assets in the accompanying financial statements.
Temporarily restricted net assets
Net assets subject to donor imposed stipulations that may or will be met by actions of the Organization
and/or the passage of time.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
1.
Basis of presentation (continued)
Unrestricted net assets
Net assets not subject to donor-imposed stipulations.
Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless use of the related assets is limited by
donor-imposed restrictions. Expenses are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets. Gains and
losses on investments and other assets or liabilities are reported as increases or decreases in unrestricted
net assets unless their use is restricted by explicit donor stipulations or by law.
Expirations of temporary restrictions on net assets, i.e., the donor-stipulated purpose has been fulfilled
and/or the stipulated time period has elapsed, are reported as reclassifications between the applicable
classes of net assets.
2.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Children’s Miracle
Network, Children’s Miracle Network UK, Children’s Miracle Network Enterprises Limited and
Children’s Miracle Network Ireland for the period ended August 31, 2008. For the period ended
August 31, 2007, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of
Children’s Miracle Network and Cure Kids’ Cancer. As discussed more fully in Note L, Cure Kids’
Cancer was merged into Children’s Miracle Network during the period ended August 31, 2008. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
3.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amount of assets, liabilities, and net assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, gains and other support, and
expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Organization evaluates the estimates
and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. The
Organization believes that the estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however,
the actual results could differ from these estimates under different future conditions.
4.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Organization considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Organization’s cash equivalents consist of money
market funds.

5.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash and equivalents are resources received from the Organization’s campaigns and
programs which are payable to member hospitals. Restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash
equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows.
6.
Investments
Investments are stated at fair value determined by quoted market prices as of year end. Investment
income or loss (including realized gains and losses on investments, interest, and dividends) and
unrealized gains and losses on investments are recognized in the statements of activities.
7.
Restricted investments
Restricted investments are resources restricted for future payouts of the supplemental employee
retirement plan.
8.
Contributions
Contributions, grants, and bequests including unconditional promises to give, are recognized upon
receipt as either temporarily or permanently restricted support if they are received with donor
stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction is satisfied, temporarily
restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities
as net assets released from restrictions. Results of fundraising efforts that are received as agency funds
and later paid to member hospitals are not recognized as revenues; instead, these funds are recorded as
restricted cash and payables to member hospitals. Contributions of assets other than cash are recorded
at their estimated fair value. Contributions that will be received within one year from the statement of
financial position date are not discounted. Contribution pledges that are to be received over multiple
years are discounted in accordance with APB Opinion No. 21, Interest on Receivables and Payables.
Contributions of services are recognized if the services received (a) create or enhance nonfinancial
assets or (b) require specialized skills, which are provided by individuals possessing those skills and
would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation. The Organization received service
and material donations included in the accompanying statement of activities at an estimated fair market
value of approximately $1.8 million and $1.7 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Organization
received cash donations included in the accompanying statement of activities of approximately $7.2
million from four major donors during the year ended August 31, 2008.
The Organization has a substantial number of volunteers that have donated a significant amount of
time to the Organization’s programs and activities. No amounts have been reflected in the financial
statements for these services inasmuch as no objective basis is available to measure the value of such
services.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
9. Temporarily restricted net assets
The Organization has adopted the following accounting policies with respect to temporarily restricted
net assets:
•
Contributions with restrictions met in the same year
Contributions received with donor-imposed restrictions that are met in the same year as received
are reported as revenues of unrestricted net assets.
•
Release of restrictions on net assets for acquisition of land, building and equipment
Contributions of land, building, and equipment without donor stipulations concerning the use of
such long-lived assets are reported as revenues of unrestricted net assets. Contributions of cash or
other assets to be used to acquire land, buildings, and equipment with donor stipulations are
reported as revenues of temporarily restricted net assets; the restrictions are considered to be
released at the time of acquisition of such long-lived assets.
10. Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represent billings to member hospitals for membership fees and various ancillary
services. Accounts receivable are expected to be collected during the next fiscal year and are recorded
at net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is directly related to receivables for the
ancillary services provided to member hospitals and to pledges receivable.
Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due and finance
charges are charged on the outstanding balance. The Organization determines its allowance by
considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, the
Organization’s previous loss history, the member hospital’s current ability to pay its obligation to the
Organization, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Organization
writes off receivables when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such
receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
11. Property, furniture and equipment
Property, furniture and equipment are recorded at cost when purchased or fair market value at the date
of gift, if contributed. Expenditures over $2,000 that will benefit future periods are capitalized and
expensed over the useful life of the asset. Property, furniture and equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years
for furniture and equipment and thirty years for property. The cost and accumulated depreciation of
property and equipment sold or otherwise retired are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss
on disposition is reflected in the statement of activities in the period of disposition.

12. Hospital and licensing fees
Cash is received in advance from hospitals for membership fees. Membership fee revenue is deferred
and amortized ratably over the one-year contract period.
During the period ended August 31, 2008, the Organization received approximately $171,000 of
revenue from licensing agreements. Fees received under licensing agreements are accounted for as
exchange transactions and are recognized in the statement of activities when earned under the terms of
the contracts.
13. Foreign currency translation
The accounts of Children’s Miracle Network’s Canadian office, Children’s Miracle Network UK,
Children’s Miracle Network Enterprises Limited and Children’s Miracle Network Ireland are translated
into U.S. dollars in the accompanying financial statements according to the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency of
Children’s Miracle Network’s Canadian office is the Canadian dollar; the functional currency of
Children’s Miracle Network UK and Children’s Miracle Network Enterprises Limited is the pound; and
the functional currency of Children’s Miracle Network Ireland is the euro.
14. Income taxes
The Organization received a tax determination letter indicating that it qualifies as a tax-exempt
organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization is also exempt
from State of Utah taxation. In 2008 and 2007, the Organization incurred $6,500 and $16,500,
respectively, in unrelated business income tax resulting from transactions that were not within the scope
of the Organization’s stated mission.
15. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Organization reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future
undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
16. Advertising expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in advertising and promotions on the
Statement of Functional Expenses. Advertising costs were approximately $5.7 million and $3.8 million
in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

17. Functional expenses
The Organization performs four functions: community services & outreach support, network program
services, fundraising and management & general. Definitions of these functions are as follows:
Community Services & Outreach Support – All costs incurred to develop, package and provide public
outreach programs to member children’s hospitals throughout the United States, Canada, the UK and
Ireland.
Network Program Services – Activities performed by the Organization to develop national fundraising
programs for over 170 children’s hospitals throughout the United States, Canada, the UK and Ireland.
Participation in the Network provides hospitals access to corporate charity care fundraising programs.
Expenses include those related to day-to-day involvement with member hospitals and relationships with
corporate sponsors.
Fundraising – Activities performed by the Organization to generate funds and/or resources to support
its own programs and operations.
Management & General – All costs that are not identifiable with a single program or fundraising activity,
but are indispensable to the conduct of such programs and activities and to the Organization’s
existence. This includes expenses for the overall direction of the Organization, business management,
general recordkeeping, budgeting, financial reporting, and activities relating to these functions such as
salaries, rent, supplies, equipment, and other general overhead.
The majority of the Organization’s expenses are classified as Community Services & Outreach Support and
Network Program Services as the majority of expenses incurred by the Organization fulfill the purposes or
mission for which the Organization exists. Furthermore, the majority of expenses are incurred to
create, maintain and facilitate fundraising programs that are executed by corporate, media and hospital
partners to benefit children’s health care. However, actual solicitations to current and potential donors
are not made by the Organization; rather, the solicitations are made by the corporate sponsors, media
sponsors and member hospitals.
Any expenses incurred by the Organization to raise funds to support its own programs and operations
or where the Organization directly solicits funds from donors are classified as Fundraising expenses.
18. Reclassifications
Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to fiscal year 2007 financial information to

with high credit quality financial institutions and generally limits the amount of credit exposure to the
amount in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage limit of $100,000 (limit as of August 31, 2008).
From time to time throughout the year, the Organization’s cash and investment balances may exceed
the amount of the FDIC insurance coverage. The Organization, however, does not anticipate
nonperformance by the institutions.

NOTE M – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) – CONTINUED
Subsequent to year end, the Organization’s investment portfolio has declined by approximately $2.3
