Costco Wholesale, headquartered in Seattle, has raised more than $137 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1988. Currently 412 warehouses in 89 markets participating in some sort of fundraising campaign for their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

In May, Costco participates in a month-long miracle balloon campaign at all warehouses in the United States and Canada. Costco employees’ hearts are as big as the warehouses they work in. Along with the balloon campaign, there are many warehouses that run other programs to raise money to increase their fundraising totals. They have special lunches that employees can purchase, popcorn sales, car washes, races and walks, and dozens of other creative fundraising activities. They also have a great program that includes their vendors, where they sell the larger balloons to sponsors to hang up in their warehouse showing their support of the campaign.
