Local businesses are invited to join in a national event called “Miracle Jeans Day,” which will take place Wednesday, Sept. 12. The Miracle Jeans Day is an opportunity for local businesses and its employees to wear jeans for a $5 fee per employee. All collected proceeds are submitted following the Miracle Jeans day by the company to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center in Great Bend is one of the six locations served by Children’s Miracle Network hospitals in its 64-county area. Any family who has a child between the age of birth to 21 years of age, and has a diagnosed condition by a certified medical professional, is able to receive up to $500  for mileage reimbursement, durable medical goods, or prescription drugs. Twice a year, grants are also provided to pediatric needs in the area. Any businesses interested in participating in Miracle Jeans Day should visit www.miraclejeansday.com to register online.
