Patrick and Janice Miller are the local magic duo who produce and perform in The Magic & the Wonder each year. Patrick’s connection to Kosair Charities and the Kids Center is personal. He was born with bilateral club feet and placed in leg casting immediately at birth. He received cast treatment at Kosair Crippled Children Hospital from ages one to four and underwent multiple surgeries and brace treatments until age 17. He is an active board member at Kosair Charities.
