And more than $1,300,000 was raised for Children’s Miracle Network and other healthcare programs supported by Asante Foundation.
Produced by the Asante Foundation, 100 percent of all proceeds raised go directly to Asante’s Children’s Miracle Network and other health care programs supported by the Asante Foundation. In its first three years, over $1.5 million was raised, directly benefitting the health care of thousands of children. As a Children’s Miracle Network designated hospital, Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center provides the highest level of pediatric care in the region.
