Its mission is to provide fundraising support for the Children’s Miracle Network which benefits the Shands Children’s Hospital at the University of Florida. It was started by Penn State University in 1973. Today, dozens of universities across America raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network’s participating hospitals. All proceeds from the event go towards purchasing medical equipment, provide diversionary activities for children and help fund medical research.
