The 18th Annual Children's Miracle Network Celebration was held on Saturday, June 1, at NDSU and MeritCare Children's Hospital and was broadcast state-wide in North Dakota and in western Minnesota. The final total at the 2002 Celebration was $506,186 ... the most we have ever raised at the Celebration!
