Fairmount Park Casino and Racing is hosting its inaugural “Miracle Family Day” on October 18 in partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals of Greater St. Louis to raise funds and awareness for local children’s hospitals, including St. Louis Children’s Hospital and SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital. The family-friendly event will feature live horse racing starting at 2:30 p.m., with seven special races honoring children currently receiving care, who will be guests of honor with unique experiences like meeting horses and photos in the winner’s circle.

The event aims to raise $10,000 to support pediatric equipment, research, treatment advancements, and access to affordable care for children in the region. Community members are encouraged to attend and support the cause, while those unable to attend can contribute through online donations. Organizers emphasize the event as a meaningful way to unite families, fans, and the community in support of local pediatric healthcare.
