Costco campaign for CMN at UC Davis set for May

Costco’s annual Miracle Balloon campaign is set to get underway May 1. As the company’s primary fundraiser for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals (CMN), this month-long event takes place at all Costco locations in the United States and Canada. Costco locations in inland Northern California will raise money for UC Davis Children’s Hospital, the area’s only CMN Hospital. All funds raised locally stay local to help children in 33 counties.

A total of 16 area warehouses from Redding to Tracy will raise money to help UC Davis Children’s Hospital patients by asking members to purchase a CMN Miracle Balloon at checkout. The Costco Business Center, Central Fill Center and Depot will also take part in the fundraising effort.

For 35+ years, Costco and its members have raised money for CMN to fund much needed medical treatments, equipment and facilities at local children’s hospitals. Contributions to CMN impact the ability of hospitals like UC Davis Children’s Hospital to meet urgent needs, while also maintaining an exceptional standard of care.

In 2022, Costco donated $1,247,862 to UC Davis Children’s Hospital. Chico Costco raised the most funds and claimed the number two spot in the country. Costco’s overall donation to CMN at UC Davis totals $15,659,253.

Costco has raised close to $500 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1987. Currently, more than 600 Costco locations participate in a fundraising campaign for their local CMN Hospital.

The CMN fundraising campaign at Costco runs May 1-31.
