KrogerChildren’s Miracle Network Hospitals is proud to announce that Kroger divisions throughout Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and the Mid-Atlantic for the first time ever raised over $1 million dollars during the CMN Hospital icon campaigns. Kroger has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1996, raising more than $11 million for sick and injured kids. Funds generated during the in-store campaign are unrestricted, meaning the hospitals can use the funds however they are needed most.

“The Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals campaign offers Kroger shoppers an extraordinary opportunity to help save the lives of children in their own communities,” said Rachel Hurst, consumer affairs manager, The Kroger Co. of Michigan. “Sixty-two children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital every minute seeking treatment for a range of life-threatening illnesses, including cancer. The doors at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals are always open – regardless of a family’s ability to pay.”

Direct Energy: A $5 million commitment to Texas Children’s Hospital on December 18, 2015 – marking the largest corporate gift ever made to a Texas Children’s Hospital campaign. The gift will be used to help expand Texas Children’s Heart Center in order to serve more children in the Houston community, the state of Texas and across the nation.

In addition, and under the Direct Energy umbrellas, powerful brands such as One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, Mister Sparky and Bounce Energy join forces to collect donations each October and throughout the year to help provide equipment and medical treatments for children with injuries, and help fund preventative education and programs that simply keep kids out of the hospital.
