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

Walmart and Sam’s Club spark good to change kids’ health at CHRISTUS Children’s through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals). CHRISTUS Children’s is committed to ensuring kids in our community can lead healthy, fulfilling lives. But we can’t do it alone. We’re so grateful for our partners!

Walmart and Sam’s Club share a basic belief – that every child deserves the chance to live better.

June 12 – July 14, you can donate in-store at Walmart and Sam’s Club, online at Walmart.com, and in the Walmart app to make a difference for kids across our community. 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 go above and beyond to lead creative fundraising activities and events throughout the campaign. Stop by and join the fun! Each dollar raised locally at Walmart and Sam’s Club helps CHRISTUS Children’s provide the treatments and support patients desperately need today, so that they can fulfill their potential for tomorrow.

When Jenny, a Sam’s Club associate, was pregnant, she was told her baby, Camilla, would be born with Trisomy 21 – Downs Syndrome. Camilla entered the world six weeks early, weighing three pounds, 10 ounces, and Jenny soon learned Camilla also had heart complications. Camilla underwent emergency life-saving surgery to repair two holes in her heart. Jenny and Camilla’s grandfather, Hector, are both Sam’s Club associates and had raised funds for CMN Hospitals for more than a decade, never thinking they would ever need services provided in a children’s hospital. Today, their tradition of raising money for children and families means even more.

Camilla is now four years old and continues to see several specialists at CHRISTUS Children’s. She is also a member of the CHRISTUS Children’s Patient Ambassador Club, making visits to local stores and inspiring Walmart and Sam’s Club Associates.

CHRISTUS Children’s couldn’t help kids like Camilla 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 more than 35 years, raising more than $1 billion for thousands of children nationwide. Their support brings joy and hope to kids treated in the hospital in numerous ways — these donations have helped fund pioneering research and transformative care for children not just in their youth, but throughout their lives.

Thanks to you, Walmart, and Sam’s Club for helping change kids’ health to change the future at CHRISTUS Children’s.
