SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (Feb. 1, 2022) – JOANN, the nation’s category leader in sewing and fabrics and one of the fastest-growing competitors in the arts and crafts industry, is partnering with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) to raise funds for member children’s hospitals across the nation. Beginning January 30, customers can donate to their local member of CMN Hospitals by dropping their change in a coin box at any of JOANN’s more than 850 stores nationwide.

“We are thrilled to join Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals as a partner for 2022,” said Chris DiTullio, Chief Customer Officer at JOANN. “We know it’s important to our customers and Team Members that we give back locally, and by partnering with CMN Hospitals, we can do just that. Each store has been mapped to a local member hospital, so customers and Team Members have a personal connection that makes each donation or engagement opportunity even more meaningful.”

Now more than ever, philanthropy is crucial to ensure children’s hospitals are supported so that kids continue to receive the best care possible – no matter life’s circumstances. Donations can transform how children’s hospitals meet the urgent needs brought on by the pandemic, while still maintaining an exceptional standard of care and wellbeing. The partnership will run through the end of October, with opportunities for engagement with local member hospitals throughout the year in each market.

“JOANN has made philanthropy part of their identity, where team members and customers alike are inspired to give back to their community and we are excited to welcome them as a new partner to the CMN Hospitals family,” said Teri Nestel, President and CEO of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “We truly believe that when all of us unite on our mission to improve health and wellbeing for all children, we can all change kids’ health and change the future.”

Kids can’t wait; they need our help now. For information on this partnership or any other JOANN charitable partnerships, please visit, joann.com/corporate-giving. To find your nearest JOANN location, visit joann.com/stores.
