Love’s collects critical donations for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

Love’s Travel Stops will kick off its annual Miracle Balloon Campaign on Friday to raise critical funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) in support of CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System.

This nationwide initiative brings together Love’s locations from coast to coast to help change kids’ health to change the future.

“At CHRISTUS, we’re committed to delivering comprehensive care that supports every aspect of a child’s health, from innovative research and preventative services to compassionate family support,” said Kelley Matkins, CMN Hospitals program director, CHRISTUS Foundation Shreveport-Bossier. “We’re deeply thankful for the generosity of Love’s Travel Stops. Their partnership not only strengthens our mission but also brings hope and healing to the children who represent the future of our communities.”

From Aug. 22 through Sept. 26, customers can donate at any Love’s Travel Stop, with proceeds benefiting the local CMN member hospital. These donations directly support pediatric care, helping children receive urgent, high-quality treatment while offering families the comfort of knowing what’s next.

Not only do Love’s Travel Stops fuel customers, including those who move consumer products that impact society, but they also fuel the vision to change kids’ health. By ensuring our children lead healthy, fulfilling lives, Love’s fosters the professional drivers, travelers and families of tomorrow.

Love’s Travel Stops has been a proud CMN Hospitals partner since 1999. Through its iconic Miracle Balloon Campaign, Love’s Travel Stops has raised nearly $40 million for local children’s hospitals, bringing in $75,000 for CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System last year. The campaign has become a cherished tradition, symbolizing teamwork, generosity and the spirit of giving that defines Love’s culture.

By supporting treatments, facilities and programs, these funds help address today’s most pressing pediatric health challenges while preparing for those of tomorrow. When we change kids’ health, we change the future, for all of us.
