Thank you, to our local Walmart associates and customers, for another successful fundraising campaign! 💛

This summer, Walmart associates invited customers to donate at the register and hosted special fundraising events to support Children's Miracle Network. Every dollar raised at our local stores will stay local to help kids treated at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

This artwork, created by our Champion, Briella, is a reminder of the children whose lives you're helping change. Thank you for making miracles possible!

Ever wonder where your donations to Children's Miracle Network go? 💙

Every dollar raised stays local and supports the areas of greatest need at our member hospitals. Because these funds are unrestricted, they can be used where they're needed most—from providing life-saving treatments to pediatric equipment, research, and other programs that might not otherwise be possible.
