SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Nov. 2, 2022) – Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) and 7-Eleven, Inc. today announced the launch of a holiday fundraising campaign at participating 7-Eleven®, Speedway®, and Stripes® stores. Beginning today through January 10, customers are invited to round up their purchase at checkout or donate $1 to help support more than 105 member hospitals in communities across the country.
“Following a successful Speedway Miracle Tournament and Celebration Dinner this summer, which raised nearly $3 million, we are excited to expand our support of CMN Hospitals with the launch of a holiday fundraising campaign in 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes stores,” said Rankin Gasaway, executive vice president and chief administrative officer for 7-Eleven, Inc. “Funds raised through this campaign will help advance pediatric healthcare by providing critical lifesaving equipment and much needed resources to treat children throughout the communities we serve.”
Along with the option to round up at the register, customers can also donate directly to CMN Hospitals here.
“The holiday season is always a special time of year – a time for reflection and giving back,” said Teri Nestel, President & CEO of CMN Hospitals. “Round-up campaigns hosted by our corporate partners, like 7-Eleven, Inc., make it easier for consumers to share the holiday spirit this season and support their local CMN Hospital. Their generosity will help ensure kids have access to holistic, best-in-class care to unleash their full potential.”

Since 1991, Speedway, a part of the 7-Eleven family of brands, has partnered with CMN Hospitals to raise more than $150 million for local children’s hospitals through in-store campaigns, promotions, and its annual Speedway Miracle Tournament and Celebration Dinner.
