Walmart and Sam’s Club associates #HelpKidsLiveBetter by Rounding Up through 7/31

Walmart and Sam’s Club just announced that the annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraising campaign will continue through July 31.

The initial campaign featured $1, $2, $5 and open donation options, but with the national coin shortage, stores have been running low on pennies, dimes and quarters during the campaign.

In an effort to fulfill their commitment to #HelpKidsLiveBetter, Walmart and Sam’s Club associates are changing tactics, asking customers to Round Up at both stores beginning Monday, July 20. The Round Up campaign is a simple and easy way to raise funds and hold on to extra coins during the shortage. Customers round up their total to the nearest dollar and donate the difference, eliminating the need for change.

Walmart.com and the Walmart App will also keep their Round Up option through July 31. All funds raised stay local to help sick and injured children in UC Davis Children’s Hospital’s 33-county service area.
