Stripes Convenience Stores employees asked customers to purchase a $1 Miracle Balloon icon or donate loose change to raise funds for area Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The icons were attached to coupons, providing customers an additional incentive to make the $1 purchase. Overall, Stripes has raised more than $3.75 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Because all donations made locally to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals stay local, funds raised by Stripes Convenience Stores will benefit 12 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals near Stripes Stores locations.
