Walmart & Sam’s Club Spark Good to Change Kids’ Health at Gundersen June 12 – July 14

Walmart and Sam’s Club spark good to change kids’ health at Gundersen Health System through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals). Gundersen wants to ensure kids in our community can lead healthy, fulfilling lives. But they can’t do it alone.

Walmart and Sam’s Club share a basic belief – that every child deserves the chance to live better. That’s why they support CMN Hospitals in raising critical funds for local children’s hospitals to spark good and help change kids’ health. June 12 – July 14, you can donate in-store at Walmart and Sam’s Club, on Walmart.com and in the Walmart app.

Additionally, Walmart and Sam’s Club associates are the heart of the campaign, as so many have strong relationships with their local children’s hospitals. They lead creative fundraising activities and events throughout the campaign. Each dollar raised locally at Walmart and Sam’s Club helps Gundersen provide treatments and support patients desperately need today, so that they can fulfill their potential for tomorrow.

Walmart and Sam’s Club continue to provide support and make positive impacts on kids’ lives for patients like Amanda, a 16-year-old from Houston, Minn., who has a rare genetic condition called FOXG1 Syndrome. CMN Hospitals support Amanda and her family through an iPad to help with therapy and travel support for trips to see a specialist for her communications device. CMN Hospitals is there to help Amanda.

And Gundersen couldn’t help kids like Amanda without the generosity of millions of customers and members who shop in Walmart stores, Sam’s Clubs and online. Walmart and Sam’s Club have been proud partners of CMN Hospitals for 36 years and have raised more than $3 million locally for Gundersen.

Their support has brought joy and hope to kids treated in the hospital in numerous ways — these donations have helped fund grants for children in our 25-county service territory, no matter where they receive care, as well as supported pediatric departments at Gundersen.

Thanks to you, Walmart, and Sam’s Club in the Driftless Region for helping change kids’ health to change the future at Gundersen Health System.
