Precious Moments Continues Support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals With It’s 2013 Porcelain Figurine

In its first year of partnership, Precious Moments, Inc. raised more than $10,000 in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals — a charity that raises funds and awareness for 170 North American children’s hospitals. In 2012, the first full year of its participation, PMI developed a Precious Moments figurine and two hanging ornaments with 5 percent of each piece sold going to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

As the partnership continues, PMI has once again created an exclusive figurine that will generate additional funds for the charity. The 2013 figurine portrays a little teardrop-eyed girl dressed in her best outfit and carries the inspirational message You’re So Precious. The bisque porcelain figurine has a suggested retail price of $40, with 5 percent of each piece sold going to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

“We are proud to continue our partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals,” said Don Butcher, PMI President. “The wonderful work that they do benefits children and their families when they need it most. Through the support of our dedicated retailers and devoted collectors, our fundraising efforts successfully raised more than $10,000 for this worthy cause in our first year. That support is sure to raise even more in 2013.”

What began in 1983 with a televised fundraiser in a small studio, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has grown to one of North America’s leading children’s charities. Since its humble beginnings, CMN Hospitals has raised more than $4.7 billion — most of it a dollar at a time.

Today, 62 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for treatment every minute, and one in 10 North American children are treated by CMN Hospitals each year. This adds up to 32 million patient visits for 10 million children annually.

The 2013 porcelain bisque figurine will be available in retail stores beginning in November and also can be ordered online at www.preciousmoments.com.

“At Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, we are grateful for the support of our corporate partners, like Precious Moments, who help further our mission to increase funds and awareness for local children’s hospitals,” said Amanda Clark, Manager of Corporate Partnerships at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
