POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Ignite 2026 created many moments I won’t forget!

This past weekend I got the chance to listen to more Dance marathons champion kids stories, learn from amazing speakers and network with so many students who are all on the same mission to make an impact on our miracle kids!

Feeling more motivated and inspired then ever, I can’t wait to start this new year and make it the best one yet!💙💛💙

Feeling inspired as we wrap up Ignite Peer-to-Peer Leadership Conference with @cmnhospitals!! Our executive director Kate and external director Lizzie had the incredible opportunity of connecting with other dance marathon programs from all over the country, and listening to inspiring stories from miracle champions. They learned from Children’s Miracle Network staff and are coming back to Madison with a new perspective and ideas for the 2025-2026 school year. Follow along on our journey #forthekids!!
