Miracles for Kids

?? We Did It! Thanks to The Stand Restaurants and Our Amazing Community! ?? We're thrilled to announce that our partnership with The Stand Restaurants has exceeded expectations, raising nearly $45,000 in just two months through the "Cookies n' Dreams" milkshake campaign! ???? This success wouldn’t have been possible without The Stand’s dedication, their loyal customers, and the power of local businesses coming together for a great cause. Every milkshake sold made a difference for families with critically-ill children, providing them with crucial support during their most challenging times. ?? A huge thank you to The Stand for not only selling milkshakes but also matching donations up to $10,000 and showing how powerful local partnerships can be in making a real impact! If you were able to visit one of their 19 locations you saw the blue hearts of each donor, you saw the Miracles for Kids balloons at every counter, and you felt the love being served up all over Southern California for our families in need. THANK YOU! #incasyoumissedit watch the segment on ABC7 below to see the partnership and the impact it made! ?? Are you a local business interested in running a campaign like this? Let’s join forces to create more miracles! Reach out to Beth Hofeldt at [email protected] to learn how your business can get involved and make a difference for families in need.

?? What an Incredible Day of Celebration and Joy! ?? Last Saturday, August 17th, we gathered at The Commons at UCI Research Park to celebrate the birthdays of nine amazing critically ill children and their families at our Birthday Bash of Miracles! This special afternoon was dedicated to bringing joy to these families with games, prizes, cakes, pi?atas, and heartfelt renditions of "Happy Birthday." The day was made even more memorable as The Bradley Rofer Foundation generously donated $519 checks to each family. The event, which hosted over 65 family members, was filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories, thanks to carnival-themed activities, an In-N-Out Burger Truck, face painting, balloon animals, and a special visit from the OC Sheriff’s Department. ???? A HUGE thank you to the 87 volunteers who dedicated 347 hours to make this day possible. Your support means the world to us!
