It's the Summer of Miracles!
An enormous part of CMN Hospitals fundraising is the dollar-by-dollar efforts via CMN Hospitals corporate partners, including point-of-sale fundraising (round-up or donate-at-the-register campaigns), coupon campaigns, and creative events, including bake sales, golf tournaments, car shows, and more. This has resulted in $52,193,242.71 raised for Duke Children’s, often one dollar at a time.
Partners have national days, weekends, or even months benefitting CMN Hospitals. Campaigns happen year-round, and businesses constantly make a difference for their local children’s hospital, but Summer is our busiest time! Between May 1 and early August, five of our partners hold their largest campaigns, including:
Costco: May 1-31; make a donation to support Duke Children's at the register when you check out!
Walmart & Sam's Club: June 9-July 6; make a donation at the register or online to support Duke Children's when you check out!
Publix: June 13-22; make a donation to Duke Children's and receive a book of coupons!
Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day: July 31; the culmination of several weeks of fundraising, a portion of all Blizzard Treats sold this day support Duke Children's!
Ace Hardware Miracle Bucket Days: August 1-3; Buy your Miracle Bucket and fill it up, all bucket sales from participating locations support Duke Children's!
CMN Hospitals has dozens of local, regional, and national corporate partners, all of which fundraise for their local children’s hospital. Examples include big box stores such as Walmart & Sam’s Club and Costco, gas stations such as Speedway and Love’s Travel Stops, specialty shops such as Ace Hardware, restaurants such as Dairy Queen, and real estate agencies such as RE/MAX. Smaller local or regional businesses can get involved, too.
Get involved!
How can you get involved? When out running errands, look for the yellow and red Miracle Balloon at a business in the Triangle, Triad, Fayetteville, or Wilmington regions. These businesses are actively supporting Duke Children’s. Ask an associate at the register how you can give to their campaign.
