Walmart & Sam’s Club Associates: The Heart of Changing Kids’ Health
At Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals), we believe every child deserves a bright future. But making that dream a reality wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our partners – especially the dedicated associates at Walmart and Sam’s Club!
From June 10 to July 7, Walmart and Sam’s Club associates across the U.S. are once again leading the charge in the annual Spark Good. Change Kids’ Health. campaign. They’re passionate, creative, and deeply committed to raising critical funds for local member children’s hospitals. You can join their efforts by donating in-store, online at Walmart.com, or through the Walmart app. Every dollar you contribute supports locally, providing treatments and support for kids who need it most.
Stories of Hope and Gratitude
Many Walmart and Sam’s Club associates have been personally touched by CMN Hospitals. This deepens their connection to the cause and inspires them to pay it forward. Take Dori, a Walmart Market Manager, for example.
A Heart Full of Gratitude
Dori’s world revolved around her five-year-old grandson, Gabe. His laughter was a constant reminder of the challenges they had overcome together. Born with a heart condition, Gabe faced an uphill battle from the start. He needed specialized care immediately after birth, and Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego became their home away from home for twelve long weeks.
The NICU staff became like family, providing exceptional care and constant reassurance. From explaining complex medical procedures to simply offering a comforting presence, they eased the anxieties of Dori and her family.
Witnessing the Power of CMN Hospitals
Dori, already a longtime advocate for CMN Hospitals, saw firsthand the organization’s far-reaching impact. It extended beyond her initial focus on cancer research to encompass mental health services, the comforting presence of the hospital chapel, and every step of a child’s healing journey.
Witnessing the constant flow of patients arriving by helicopter solidified Dori’s commitment. She became a champion for CMN Hospitals within her Walmart & Sam’s Club team, a company with a long and proud partnership with the organization.
A Team Effort Makes a Difference
Dori’s team embraced the fundraising efforts with enthusiasm. They organized fun events, spread awareness about CMN Hospitals, and most importantly, shared Gabe’s story. This powerful reminder resonated deeply, highlighting the importance of their work.
The funds raised by Dori and her team directly supported their local member children’s hospital. Dori knew these funds were critical for families facing an unimaginable combination of emotional turmoil and financial burden.
Together, We Can Heal
Gabe’s story is a testament to the lifesaving work of CMN Hospitals and the generosity of communities like Dori’s. Every dollar raised helps children like him win their battles.
By supporting CMN Hospitals through Walmart & Sam’s Club, you too can be a part of this incredible journey of hope and healing. Let’s join the dedicated Walmart and Sam’s Club associates in making a difference for kids in our communities!
