Mark your calendars for Sunday, December 6^th from noon to 5:00 pm for the 23^rd Annual Miracle on Madison Avenue!

On Miracle Sunday, over 75 participating retailers along New York City’s famed Madison Avenue between 57^th and 86^th Streets will donate 20% of the day’s sales to The Children’s Aid Society’s health services.

Children’s Aid’s health services include: acute and preventive treatment, medical, dental or mental health care, counseling by a health educator, ophthalmology/optometry and more.

Miracle is the perfect opportunity to start holiday shopping and help children in need.  Purchasing a handbag could help provide a nebulizer for a child with asthma. Your scarf could help provide an eye exam for a child struggling to see the black board.

Join thousands of caring New Yorkers as they shop on Madison Avenue. Law & Order: SVU’s Tamara Tunie, the Chair of Miracle on Madison Avenue, will be on hand at noon for the opening ceremony at Madison Avenue and 69^th Street.

See you on the Avenue on December 6^th! And remember to use #shopmiracle when mentioning this event online.
