All month long, shoppers will be invited to donate at checkout. Costco locations from Redding to Tracy will raise money in support of UC Davis Children’s Hospital. All funds raised locally stay local to support research, programs, equipment and clinical care.
Although employees will maintain a focus on safety – with face coverings, register plexiglass and no small miracle balloons – they are determined to engage with customers and help them understand that kids can’t wait.
“We are so grateful to Costco and its employees for their enthusiasm and dedication to this campaign,” said Michelle Tafoya, program director of Children’s Miracle Network at UC Davis. “Despite the many challenges of the pandemic, the teams remain committed to changing kids’ health and have found creative ways to share their enthusiasm and the mission of CMN at UC Davis with customers. The key is that these employees are in it for the kids. That’s why they ask and will keep asking. Every dollar makes a difference.”
