CN Miracle Match Raises A Record $1,600,000

The CN Miracle Match is designed to rally communities across Canada to support children's hospitals. Each year, since 2006, CN has raised funds to support a children's hospital by matching funds raised through various initiatives that are connected with the CN Canadian Women's Open. To date, CN Miracle Match has raised close to $3.5 million for children's charities across Canada.

Through the generosity of donors, the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation provides funding for innovative family centered programs, state of the art equipment, advanced medical training and internationally recognized pediatric research.
"CN is very proud of this year's record-setting results," said E. Hunter Harrison, CN's president and chief executive officer. "The people of Calgary have been excellent hosts for the 2009 CN Canadian Women's Open, and the fact we were able to raise $1.6 million is a testament to their generosity."

"At CN, we are deeply committed to the strength of our communities by ensuring the health and safety of our youth. Over the past four years, the CN Miracle Match has raised over $3.5 million for children's hospitals in Canada. We look forward to continuing this community investment tradition next year when the CN Canadian Women's Open will be held at St. Charles Country Club in Winnipeg, Man."

"We are absolutely thrilled with the results of the CN Miracle Match program, and proud that Albertans rallied behind our children's hospital in such a tremendously generous manner," said Saifa Koonar, president and CEO of the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation. "CN has been an outstanding partner for the Alberta Children's Hospital, and the success of this campaign demonstrates their leadership in supporting the well being of children in our communities."
