Walmart and Sam’s Club Fundraising for Children’s Health

Local Walmart and Sam’s Club stores are once again joining forces to raise money for Children’s Health during the annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals campaign.

Last year, Walmart and Sam’s Club passed the $1 billion fundraising mark for CMN Hospitals in the U.S. and Canada, the largest amount raised for a nonprofit.

Money is raised primarily through a register campaign where customers and members contribute $1 or more when they checkout. Associates also fundraise in other ways including bake sales, in-store contests, and events.

This year’s register campaign runs until July 7, 2019. Customers and members can conveniently donate $1 or more when they check out at any Dallas area Walmart or Sam’s Club stores.

Money raised at Dallas area Walmart and Sam’s Club stores goes directly to benefit the sick and injured kids treated at Children’s Health. Funds are used to pay for equipment, research, supplies, charitable care, and a variety of other needs the hospital has.

Walmart and Sam’s Club joined the CMN Hospitals fundraising family in 1987 with Sam Walton himself being personally involved in the beginning of the relationship between the organizations. The fundraising campaigns supports Walmart’s goal of giving back to local communities.

Customers and members can help spread the word about the campaign via social media using the hashtag #HelpKidsLiveBetter
