33rd Annual Miracle Tournament and Celebration Dinner

The 33rd Annual Miracle Tournament and Celebration Dinner benefiting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, took place on June 24-25, 2024. We welcomed everyone to the NCR Country Club in Kettering, Ohio for the tournament and the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio for the Celebration Dinner. More than 600 suppliers, vendors and business partners participated in the tournament or attended the Celebration Dinner, interacting with Champion Children and their families. Thanks to their generous support, we were able to raise more than $3 million for children’s hospitals across the United States.

“We could not be more grateful for the incredible support of corporate partners like 7-Eleven, Inc., who, year in and year out, amaze us with their passion for our cause. Together with their customers, suppliers, vendors, Franchise Owners and employees, the impact of their fundraising efforts is helping us change kids’ health to change the future.”

2024 Champion Children

Drew
Age 9
Drew
Age 9

Treated at CHRISTUS Children’s in San Antonio, TX.

Drew was a happy, healthy two-year-old who had never been ill. He never even had an earache before he was diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted into the H-E-B Emergency Department at CHRISTUS Children’s after a very high fever. When pneumonia didn’t improve, he was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and underwent surgery to clear out his lungs, followed by a blood transfusion the next day. Drew’s vitals dropped extremely low, causing him to go into cardiac arrest. After his second surgery, he was able come off the ventilator, but then his anaphylactic allergic reaction to antibiotics caused another setback. His mother says “the PICU team will always have a special place in our hearts. They gave us the greatest gift: Drew’s life.” Today, Drew has fully recovered. He is a fun-loving, sweet nine-year-old that loves Marvel and LEGOS. He stays busy on the weekends playing football, baseball, and basketball.

Thanks to the support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Drew benefited from a brand new PICU ventilator to support his complex care and Child Life services for his family.

Kylea
Age 15
Kylea
Age 15

Treated at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, TX.

Kylea was born prematurely at 34 weeks in Kansas, and she tested positive for cystic fibrosis (CF). Her medical team thought it was a false positive since she had no symptoms. Months later, Kylea was still under five pounds. Her mom took her to the emergency center at a nearby children’s hospital in Missouri, where Kylea was admitted for jaundice. After a liver biopsy and other tests, including blood tests to look for the genetic mutations that cause CF, the family got confirmation: Kylea had two copies of delta F508, the most common genetic mutation that causes cystic fibrosis. Once she had an official diagnosis, Kylea’s family turned to Texas Children’s Hospital since they were ranked number one in pulmonology and offered a holistic approach to care. Her family moved to Houston, just in time for the new school year. Her childhood was filled to the brim with sports, dance, gymnastics, Girl Scouts, swimming, science camp, and trips to the zoo.

Today, she is 15 and studying French. She hopes to travel the world and study forensic psychology in college.

Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Kylea had access to world-class, holistic pulmonology care for cystic fibrosis.

Aidan
Age 11
Aidan
Age 11

Treated at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago in Chicago, IL.

When Aidan was seven years old, his parents began to worry as they noticed changes in his energy levels, and regular activities like family bike rides became more and more tiring for him. At his annual doctor’s appointment, his doctor noted that he had grown just one inch in the last year, and after running some tests, his parents turned to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. Aidan was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. Aidan and his parents met with members of the pediatric nephrology team, who helped Aidan understand his condition in an age-appropriate way and included him in conversations at each appointment. Aidan’s condition progressed quickly, and five months later, Aidan went on the transplant list. After confirming that she was a match, his mom made the selfless decision to donate one of her kidneys to Aidan, and they underwent surgery four months later. Through this process, Aidan found comfort through the Lurie Children’s PeerWISE program, which connects current patients with patients who were once in their shoes. Since his kidney transplant, Aidan has continued growing and meeting his milestones. He enjoys playing golf and video games and loves reading and recommending books to his family members.

Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Aidan received a lifesaving kidney transplant from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
