Beloved 'Miracle Champion' Horse Undergoes Restoration After 23 Years at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital

After 23 years of bringing joy and hope to patients, families, and staff at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital, the fiberglass 'Miracle Champion' is undergoing a well-deserved restoration. The horse, a symbol of the hospital's mission, will receive fiberglass repairs and a clear coat update to ensure its longevity.

Originally part of the 'Horses on Parade' community project supporting local charities, 'Miracle Champion' was moved to the Children's Hospital in 2009. Now, students from the Career and Technical Education Center at OCM BOCES are restoring the horse as their fall project. This partnership with the hospital has sparked excitement among staff. The students previously worked on restoring the horse statue at Onondaga Lake Park, demonstrating their skill and dedication.

Once restored, 'Miracle Champion' will return to its spot at the hospital, continuing to inspire hope and happiness. The horse has become a welcome symbol for all who enter the hospital, a testament to the community's support and the power of art to heal.

The restoration of 'Miracle Champion' is a heartwarming project that reflects the hospital's commitment to its community and the power of art to bring joy and hope. With its updated fiberglass and clear coat, the horse will continue to serve as a beacon of strength and healing for patients, families, and staff at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital.
