This annual award honors the top fundraising program per person in U.S. markets with populations between 1 to 3 million—like CMN Hospitals at CoxHealth’s 32-county region in the Ozarks.

“This award speaks volumes about the people in the Ozarks,” says Tim Siebert, executive director of CMN Hospitals at CoxHealth. “Our local region is full of wonderful people who care about the children and families we serve.”

CMN at CoxHealth has raised more than $52 million since its founding in 1986, including a record $3.1 million in 2024—an increase of $589,000 or 23% over 2023.

The recognition and increased giving from our community comes at a crucial time, Seibert says.

“As government grants are being cut across the board, we’re preparing for increased demand for our services as the need in our community is only going to grow,” Siebert says. “But just like we always do, we’re committed to delivering the care our local kids need, even if it means putting in more effort and digging even deeper.”

CoxHealth covers all operating expenses for the local CMN office, 100% of all proceeds go directly to benefiting children in the Ozarks.

In addition to monetary donations, CMN Hospitals at CoxHealth also accepts stocks, bonds, real estate, personal property, life insurance, certificates of deposit, retirement funds and bequests from estates.

Every donation helps local children and provides a great benefit to families across our region.
