FTK! For the kids!
The mission of Blazer-a-thon is to educate, inspire, and unite our campus and community to provide ongoing support for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Through our efforts, we will forever stand for the children and families we are privileged to serve. We stand for those who can't and work every day because no child should ever have to fight alone. Join us in graciously showing your support and become part of the Blazer-a-thon family!
