The annual fundraising campaign has raised more than $1 billion for member children’s hospitals across the U.S.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (June 10, 2024) – Your support can change kids’ health. Again, this year, Walmart and Sam’s Club are uniting their associates, customers, and members to raise crucial funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, making a profound impact on local communities nationwide.

You can contribute in-store/club, online at Walmart.com and the Walmart app, or opportunities to participate in associate-led fundraising activities at stores and clubs. No matter the amount, every donation will help provide essential treatment and care to millions of children across the U.S., including children like Gabe.

Stories of Hope

Meet Gabe, the grandson of Dori, a Walmart Market Manager. Born with a heart condition, Gabe spent his first twelve weeks battling for survival at his local children’s hospital. The compassionate care provided by the hospital staff, from nurses to surgeons, left an indelible mark on their family. Witnessing the ongoing need for support, Dori, a dedicated advocate for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, mobilized her Walmart and Sam’s Club team. By sharing Gabe’s story and raising awareness, they ensured that local children like Gabe receive top-notch care at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Your Donation Empowers Local Communities

“Through our annual fundraising campaign for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, each year Walmart and Sam’s Club become part of another meaningful mission – helping children in our communities live better by supporting their access to exceptional care,” said Julie Gehrki, Vice President, Philanthropy at Walmart. “It’s inspiring to see our associates rally around their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals each year to spark good for children and families in their communities.”
