Convenience store is first to offer hospital bracelets for $1 donation to support Children’s Miracle Network.
Now through June 30, Corner Store employees are encouraging customers to Put Their Money Where The Miracles Are during the chain’s 20th annual Miracle Balloon campaign.
The icons will be available for a $1 or $5 donation, and all-new yellow hospital bracelets will be available for $1.
Corner Store is the first Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals partner to offer hospital bracelets that customers may wear to stand in solidarity with sick and injured kids who wear them while being treated at their member hospital. Each donation includes a coupon for savings on goods in the stores, providing customers an extra incentive to make the $1 or $5 donation.
Like all Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraisers, funds raised from Corner Store’s month-long campaign will help fund medical care, research and education that saves and improves the lives of thousands of kids treated at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals each day. Corner Store is hoping to break its 2013 fundraising total of $2.3 million.
Corner Store, owned by CST Brands, has been a partner of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1995, raising funds for children’s hospitals through multiple campaigns totaling more than $19.2 million.
