Each year CN works closely with tournament organizers to select the next venue for the CN Canadian Women's Open. Once the golf course has been determined, CN, the RCGA and the local community can look forward to the CN Miracle Match program benefiting a local Children's Health Care Facility.
In 2006, $413,000 was raised through the CN Miracle Match program and directed to the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario at London Health Sciences Centre. In 2007, the program benefited the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton and in total $546,682 was donated. In 2008, CN was proud to announce that $1,000,000 would benefit the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. Last year, a new record was set as $1,600,000 benefitted the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation.
For 2010, CN hopes that the community of Winnipeg, the province of Manitoba, along with the rest of Canada, will again rally to set a new single year fundraising record. All fundraising efforts will benefit the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.
