Arkansas Children’s Hospital Auxiliary’s 2022 Miracle Ball Raises more than $870,000 to Support Arkansas Children’s Hospital
December 13, 2022
(Little Rock, Ark.) December 13, 2022 – The 2022 Miracle Ball, a shared project of Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) Auxiliary and Arkansas Children’s Foundation, raised more than $870,000 benefiting Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
“We could not be more grateful to the donors who made this year’s event a night of impact,” said Fred Scarborough, president of Arkansas Children’s Foundation. “The donors’ support and the Auxiliary member’s passion for Arkansas Children’s help ensure a better today and healthier tomorrow for children in Arkansas and beyond.”
Members of the ACH Auxiliary support Arkansas Children’s programs by volunteering their time and generating statewide donations. For 2022, the funds raised by Miracle Ball will support the Heart Institute, as well as the ACH Auxiliary’s legacy funding priorities: Arkansas Children’s Research Institute, Palliative Care, the Good Mourning Program and the Social Work Family Fund.
Because of the investment and generosity of the community, the cardiology program has officially become the Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute. The Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute is the state’s only pediatric cardiology program and is ranked among the Top 50 Children’s Hospitals in the Country for Pediatric Cardiology & Heart Surgery by U.S. News & World Report for 2022–2023.
“The Arkansas Children’s Hospital Auxiliary has been proud to support Arkansas Children’s Hospital for more than 56 years,” said Angie Staley Johnson, president of the ACH Auxiliary. “We are so grateful for the Miracle Ball’s sponsors, donors and patrons and their continued support of Arkansas Children’s.”
