Donny Osmond is 'Dancing' for Your Dollars

Copyright 2009 Adam Larkey / ABC

Donny Osmond is asking his fans and his "Dancing with the Stars" supporters to take it one step further and lend their support to a cause close to his heart.

Donny has launched "Dancing for Miracles," an online fundraising campaign for Children's Miracle Network, an international non-profit that raises funds for children's hospitals. The fundraising campaign will last as long as Donny remains in the competition with his professional partner, Kym Johnson.

"Children's Miracle Network is an organization I have always believed in," Donny said. "I know my supporters will be willing to help a cause that reaches children in every community. I'll keep dancing, if they'll keep raising funds for the 17 million children treated each year at Children's Miracle Network hospitals."

Supporters are asked to visit Donny.com, where they can make a one-time donation, or pledge an amount for every week Donny continues to dance. All of the money raised will benefit Children's Miracle Network hospitals across the United States.

The Osmonds have been involved with the Children's Miracle Network since its inception in 1983. The charity, which began as a telethon broadcast from the Osmond Studios, has since grown into an international non-profit organization, which has raised more than $3.8 billion for children's hospitals over the past 26 years.

But donors get more than the joy of giving. There is also the possibility of winning a trip for two to Las Vegas, NV, to see Donny and Marie perform at the Flamingo Las Vegas. Complete rules and regulations are available at Donny.com. No purchase or donation is necessary to enter or win.

"Dancing with the Stars" airs Monday and Tuesday nights on ABC.

One of the Nation’s Leading Children’s Charities Opens Headquarters as Part of Salt Lake City’s Downtown Redevelopment Efforts

Jimmy Osmond, Miss America 2009 Katie Stam, Salt Lake County Mayor Corroon, Primary Children’s Medical Center Patients and Others Join to Celebrate Children’s Miracle Network’s New International Headquarters

SALT LAKE CITY (July 10, 2009)—Children’s Miracle Network, a non-profit organization that raises funds for children’s hospitals, has opened the doors to its new international headquarters, located in downtown Salt Lake City.

Jimmy Osmond, the brother of the organization’s co-founder Marie Osmond and a member of the Board of Trustees, was joined in the ribbon cutting ceremony by Miss America 2009 Katie Stam, Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, City Councilman and Chair of the Redevelopment Agency Eric Jergensen, and several children who have been treated at Primary Children’s Medical Center (Primary Children’s is one of Children’s Miracle Network’s 170 hospitals).

The group revealed the total amount raised by Children’s Miracle Network from its 1983 inception to today – an impressive $3,818,459,578.32 – and cut a ribbon using children’s safety scissors before inviting guests inside to tour the building.

The four-story building, which is located at 205 West 700 South, was completed with support from Salt Lake City through its downtown revitalization efforts. Children’s Miracle Network currently employees 100 people at the new building; the nonprofit also has offices and employees in New York City, Canada, Ireland and the U.K.

“Salt Lake City is excited to welcome the Children’s Miracle Network headquarters to our vibrant downtown area,” said Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker. “They join a roster of noteworthy companies and organizations who have chosen to call our City home. We are honored to have the employees who work tirelessly for a noble cause in downtown Salt Lake City.”

Since 1983 Children’s Miracle Network has operated from Utah. In that time, Children’s Miracle Network has raised more than $3.8 billion for children’s hospitals; has expanded to serve hospitals in Canada, Ireland, the U.K. and Australia; and has formed relationships with hundreds of corporate sponsors, including Walmart, Costco, RE/MAX, Marriott, Delta Air Lines and Microsoft Xbox, to raise money for children’s hospitals around the world.

“Even as we have expanded to serve children in different countries, Utah has remained our home,” said Children’s Miracle Network president and CEO Scott Burt. “The new building provides us with the space and resources we need to most effectively raise money for our member hospitals, and also demonstrates our commitment to Utah.”
