New Partnership to Launch Year-Round ‘Round-Up’ Campaign Across 200+ Locations to Support Local Kids
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (October 30, 2025) – Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) is proud to announce a new partnership with Event Network, the leading operator of retail gift shops in cultural attractions, hotels, and popular destinations across North America, including Puerto Rico and the USVI. Beginning November 1, Event Network will launch a year-round “round-up” fundraising campaign across more than 200 of its hotel and destination store locations to support member children’s hospitals.
Event Network has a long history of philanthropic impact through its round-up program. In 2024, the company raised over $1.8 million and has already surpassed $1.5 million year-to-date in 2025.
The campaign will take place in over 200 Event Network store locations, directly benefiting 40 CMN Hospital markets. The funds raised will stay local, helping ensure that every round-up donation directly supports children’s hospitals in the communities served by Event Network.
“This is an incredible opportunity to grow our impact and partner with a leader in the retail and hospitality space,” said Maci Hanson, Corporate Partnerships Director for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “Event Network’s commitment to year-round giving is a testament to their culture of generosity. This partnership will bring vital funds to our member hospitals, which will provide life-saving care and resources for kids across the country.”
“At Event Network, we believe memories are made every day in the incredible places where our stores are located,” said Annie Bennett, Chief Culture Officer at Event Network. “We’re honored to help guests carry those memories home. By partnering with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, we’re extending that mission of creating meaningful experiences beyond our doors. Every donation will help make a difference in a child’s health in their local community, and we’re proud to be part of such an important cause.”
