St. Luke's Children's Hospital is Idaho's only Children's Miracle Network Hospital. We conduct fundraising year-round with local partners dedicated to helping our pediatric patients and their families.
Since its founding, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $4.7 billion, most of which is donated one dollar at a time by individuals throughout the United States and Canada. Every donation made to CMN Hospitals through local campaigns stays in its community.
St. Luke's was a founding hospital of CMN Hospitals more than 30 years ago. Since 1983, over $7 million has been raised locally to support Idaho's only children's hospital.

2022 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Champion: Kyrn
Kyrn's Positive Attitude Makes the Difference
At the age of 11, Kyrn was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right leg and underwent intense inpatient chemotherapy. She had surgery for a full distal femur replacement in Utah and then returned to Idaho, where she continued to receive chemotherapy and learned how to walk again.
“I spent a lot of time at St. Luke’s from 2017 to 2019,” Kyrn said. “It’s really like the nurses become your family because you see them so much. I would know every nurse who was on the floor and every nurse that was on call. It gets to the point where it’s kind of like a second home.”
“I get asked all the time if I could take back my cancer experience and not have to go through it,” Kyrn said. “And I’m like, ‘No, it makes me who I am. I would go through it again in a heartbeat because I wouldn’t be where I am right now, and I wouldn’t be the person that I am if I didn’t go through that.’”
2019/2020 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Champion: Brinley
Brinley Is Scrappy, Kind, and Energetic
Brinley, 9, was out branding with her family on their ranch near Hammett in April, 2019, when one of the cattle trampled her. She was transported by air ambulance with life-threatening injuries: collapsed lungs, a lacerated spleen and broken ribs.
After a year of therapy and specialist visits, she has made a full recovery.
“She’s the spunkiest, most kind-hearted gal you’ll ever meet,” her father, Spencer Oldham, said.
Being a Children’s Miracle Network Champion means that Brinley will be an ambassador for St. Luke’s Children’s this year and will visit with participating partners, including Costco, Walmart, Ace and Panda Express. Here she comes!
2018/2019 Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Champion: Hadley
Hadley Wants to Help Others
Eight-year-old Hadley looks and acts like other little girls. She enjoys coloring with her older sister Stella, playing with dolls, convincing her dad to play makeup, and snuggling her pink unicorn "Candy Heart."
Hadley was born healthy, but after six months she started refusing food. Her motor skills weren't developing, and her blood levels were all wrong. Finally, she saw a pediatric nephrologist who recognized the symptoms of cystinosis, a rare, incurable metabolic disease that causes the amino acid cystine to accumulate, affecting every organ in the body.
After getting the proper treatment and some surgery, she started growing and walking. Now Hadley smiles a lot. She has participated in fundraising events for St. Luke's Children's Hospital and her family has set up a nonprofit called Hearts for Hadley to benefit cystinosis research.
