Make a difference one dollar at a time
Your business or organization can generate a significant donation for Texas Children’s Hospital—one dollar at a time—by participating in the Miracle Balloon program. Miracle Balloons are a fun, simple way to involve your employees, members and/or customers in a fundraising effort for Texas Children’s Hospital. Best of all, the program is extremely cost-effective, and the money you raise stays in our community to fund Charity Care and its various programs at Texas Children’s Hospital.

Here’s how the program works
Print Miracle Balloon Campaign instructions

1. A typical Miracle Balloon campaign runs for thirty days.
2. Select an employee coordinator for your company’s campaign to organize the program, monitor the balloon sales and encourage 100% participation in the sale of balloons.
3. To help increase Miracle Balloon sales, we encourage you to incorporate the program into other special events—such as fundraisers, grand openings or special sales, as well as employee or member recognition and team-building activities.
4. Each paper Miracle Balloon sells for $1 at your checkout counter. The purchaser can sign his or her name on the balloon to show support for your commitment to the community and to Texas Children’s Hospital.
5. The UPC-coded balloons can be scanned through the register for collection and accounting of the funds raised. Every dollar donated then becomes a direct contribution from the participating location to Texas Children’s Hospital.
6. We encourage you to prominently display the balloons on your walls, ceiling, windows and doors throughout the campaign to increase awareness and generate excitement around the program.
