Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong. This summer, Walmart and Sam’s Club are partnering with CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System, a part of Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), to raise life-changing funds for children’s healthcare.

From June 8 through July 5, customers and members can “Spark Good” for children in their community by donating at the register, online at helpkidslivebetter.org or through the Walmart app by rounding up and selecting your local CMN hospital.

“The Spark Good. Make Big Change for All Kids. campaign plays a critical role in ensuring we can provide high-quality, accessible care to every patient and family, no matter their financial circumstances,” said Kelley Matkins, CMN program director at CHRISTUS Foundation Shreveport-Bossier. “Thanks to the commitment of Walmart and Sam’s Club associates, who actively engage their communities, we are better equipped to meet immediate needs and address today’s toughest pediatric health issues.”

Walmart and Sam’s Club have raised more than $1 billion for CMN since 1987. This year, they aim to build on that legacy and make an even greater impact. Donations made through this campaign stay local, supporting critical medical equipment, innovative research and accessible, family-centered care programs essential to children’s health and healing.

At the heart of the campaign are Walmart and Sam’s Club associates, many of whom have strong ties to the cause. Scottie was born four months early via emergency C-section, weighing only 2 pounds. Due to her prematurity, Scottie needed intensive respiratory assistance and several blood transfusions during her stay. Scottie has defied all odds and is meeting developmental goals with the help of outpatient therapy and her loving and committed family. Scottie’s grandfather, James, is a proud Walmart Associate. James had supported CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System through CMN Hospitals campaigns for over a decade, never imagining one day his family would rely on its care. Today, his efforts carry a deeply personal meaning.

Scottie is now 3 years old and continues to receive specialized care at CHRISTUS. She proudly served as the hospital’s 2024 CMN local Champion, inspiring Walmart and Sam’s Club associates across the community to continue to spark good.

Together, we can make big change for all kids.
