Colossal's Super Mom Competition Raises Over $5.6 Million

In a remarkable display of community support and philanthropy, Colossal's 2026 Super Mom competition has culminated with an astounding total of $5.6 million raised for the Children's Miracle Network® (CMN). This year, the competition was particularly special as it celebrated the incredible narratives of mothers across North America, highlighting their resilience and impact within their communities.

A Celebration of Resilience

The competition wrapped up with Kristi Foxen, a mother from Iowa battling metastatic breast cancer, earning the title of Super Mom 2026. Her inspiring journey, marked by unwavering positivity and a commitment to helping others during her own challenges, resonated powerfully with participants. In addition to the honor, she received a grand prize package that included $20,000, a dream family vacation, and a feature in NewBeauty Magazine.

Mary Hagen, the CEO of Colossal, expressed her admiration: "Every year, Super Mom reminds us that extraordinary stories are often found within the homes and communities across the nation. Kristi’s strength encapsulates the essence of this competition, and we are proud to honor her while supporting impactful initiatives for children through Children's Miracle Network."

Impacting Children's Lives

The funds collected through the Super Mom campaign are directed toward CMN, enabling critical enhancements in children’s healthcare. The network's mission is by supporting hospitals' greatest needs, ensuring children receive life-saving treatments and innovative care close to home. Kristen Schavemaker, Chief Partnerships Officer at CMN, stated, "The support generated through this year’s campaign manifests the power of unity in making a difference for kids. We are immensely grateful for Colossal's efforts and those who participated to create this significant impact."

Since launching the Super Mom initiative in 2023, Colossal’s fundraising competitions have generated over $20.6 million. This impressive figure underscores the potential of community-engaged storytelling and gives a voice to countless inspiring mothers.

Their contributions emphasized the vital role mothers play in nurturing families and fostering community strength.
