Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) is a non-profit organization that raises money to support medical research, purchase equipment, and provide uncompensated care for sick children. Over $4.7 billion has been raised since 1983 through 170 member hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. On average, 62 children receive treatment at a CMNH every minute. A group of students is planning a casino night fundraiser called "Dealing in the Healing" to raise awareness of CMNH-Christus Santa Rosa and increase support from college students through volunteer hours and donations. The event will be held on July 27th at UTSA with a $25 admission covering food, drinks, gambling chips

6. CMNH Objectives
 To gain attention to the benefits of donating and
volunteering to raise money.
 For the students:
 Increase awareness of CMNH-Christus Santa Rosa
 Increase volunteer hours, participation and support
for CMNH by at least 50%
 Increase awareness on how $1 dollar at a time can
make a difference

8. Our Target Audience
 It is our goal to involve and inform college
students about the organization and how they can
get involved.

10. Gaining Attention
 Appeal to college students to gain interest.
 Our survey results suggested that a casino night
would be a good event to do involve college students.
 We know that food and money are two major
things that draw college students in, so we decided
to use that to help gain attention.

11. “Dealing in the Healing”
 We chose to host a casino night at UTSA in
ballroom 1 on Saturday, July 27th
 This will be a fun way to get students involved and
to raise money for our charity.
 While we have students there for the event we
will have speakers come in and talk about the
charity to inform the students about what CMNH
is.
 There will be a $25 cover charge that will
include:
 Poker chips
 Food & beverage tickets
 Access to live music and dancing.

12. “Dealing In The Healing!”
 There will be prizes for the top three chip holders
at the end of the night.
 We plan to also have a donation box to encourage
CMNH’s goal of increasing the awareness of, how
$1 at a time can make a big difference.
 We will pin up a balloon logo/per $1 donated all
around the room to give a visual of how much the $1
can help.

15. We Hope You Can Make It!
