Walmart & Sam's Club team with HSHS St. John's Children's Hospital

June 12, 2026 

This summer, Walmart and Sam's Club are teaming up with HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital, a Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) hospital, to raise life-changing funds for children’s healthcare.

Walmart and Sam's Club are firm believers that all kids deserve a chance to grow up strong. That's why they've partnered with CMN to raise vital support for local children's hospitals, making a significant impact on kids' health in our communities.

How You Can Help:

During the "Spark Good. Make Big Change For All Kids." campaign running from June 8 - July 5, 2026, you can easily help the children in your community by shopping at Walmart or Sam's Club. The retailers’ 2026 goal is to raise more than $200,000 for St. John’s Children’s Hospital.
  • Donate at the register: Simply say "yes" when the cashier asks if you'd like to donate to CMN or St. John’s Children’s Hospital.
  • Donate online: Visit http://www.helpkidslivebetter.org/ to make a secure online donation.
  • Donate through the Walmart app: While shopping on Walmart.com or the Walmart app, round up to CMN during the campaign. Or select Children's Miracle Network as your charity of choice for future donations.
Andrea S., one of our local Walmart associates, shared her 17-year-old son was previously admitted to St. John’s Children’s Hospital for a heart condition. Throughout his stay, Andrea mentioned how the staff at St. John’s made her son feel incredibly welcome and cared for during a challenging time.

This experience highlights the compassionate environment St. John’s Children’s Hospital provides to patients and their families, making difficult times a little easier.

Donations made through the campaign will directly benefit St. John’s Children’s Hospital. These vital funds support:
  • Essential medical equipment for diagnosing and treating a wide range of illnesses and injuries.
  • Life-saving research to advance treatments and cures for childhood diseases.
  • Family-centered care programs to provide emotional and practical support for children and their families during their healthcare journey.
 "At HSHS St. John’s Children’s Hospital, we are dedicated to providing the very best care for children and families in our community," said Mary Rogers, CMN Program Manager at St. John’s Children’s Hospital. "The generous support of Walmart and Sam's Club, and their customers and members, allows us to continue providing this essential care. These funds are critical to helping our patients receive the treatments and support they need today, so they can live long and healthy lives."

Since 1987, Walmart and Sam's Club have proudly partnered with CMN, collectively raising over $1 billion to support children's healthcare across North America.
