2022: What a Wonderful Gift
As we wrap up another year of giving, we would like to thank all our donors, volunteers, sponsors and CMN partners for an incredible 2022! We were thrilled to start getting back to a post-pandemic normal this year with record-breaking fundraising, new partner campaigns and continued dedication through our mediations.
With another wonderful philanthropic year behind us we want to take a look back at some of the highlights this year and truly shine the spotlight on the amazing efforts of all those who help make Valley Children’s miracles possible!
Costco is a marvelous CMN partner with immense contributions to our goal of serving children across the valley. Costco had a record breaking year, raising $800,652 during the month of May through 8 warehouse locations. Their incredible work continues to positively impact the lives of many children each year. Thank you, Costco!
Walmart and Sam’s Club are valued CMN partners that help make miracles here in the valley for our children. Walmart and Sam’s Club stepped up in a huge way and raised $327,382 during their campaign for 2022. All 31 of our Walmart locations did a wonderful job!
ABC30 “Futures Worth Fighting For” Telethon was a big success! The community really came through for our local kids and together we raised $116,113. It was certainly a magical night for all our participants and certainly for the children we serve every day!
KISS Country for Kids Radiothon raised $90,576 over two days filled with patient and family testimonies. The many heart-felt stories shared by those we serve proved that Valley Children’s is a trusted place and truly does make miracles for many. The stories shared by our families motivated the community to make significant donations allowing us to further care for children.
Radio Merced LOBO raised $47,591 in a span of two days! Their incredible radio personalities rallied behind a wonderful community and delivered in a big way. The Spanish-speaking communities were able to hear powerful stories and experiences of those who visit Valley Children’s. Thank you, Radio LOBO!
Perhaps one of the most exciting news this year was the addition of 7-Eleven to the CMN partner team. 7-Eleven kicked off their first CMN campaign from November to December. We are all extremely excited about the possibilities for the future with such a far-reaching partner!
When Valley Children’s opened its doors in 1952, our five founding mothers had a vision to provide the best care to every child in the Central Valley. Now in our 70th year, Valley Children’s has grown to be one of the best and largest pediatric networks in the country. We thank you for believing in us and helping us stay true to our mission!
