Every year, Walmart and Sam’s Club associates join forces to support 170 Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals through the “Spark Good” campaign. In 2024, 74 Charlotte-area locations participated in the campaign for Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, a member of CMN Hospitals since 1988. Thanks to contributions from store associates, customers, and members, local Walmart and Sam’s Club locations have achieved a lifetime giving total of over $15 million to enhance patient care at Levine Children’s.
Since 1987, the global retailer has raised more than $1 billion to benefit CMN member hospitals across North America. Following the company’s three decades of supporting Levine Children’s Hospital, Walmart & Sam’s Club ranks as Atrium Health Foundation’s fifth largest donor of all time.
Ranked earlier this year as the “#1 Children’s Hospital” in North Carolina by U.S. News & World Report, Levine Children’s Hospital continues to build its national reputation for providing an unmatched level of care in more than 30 areas of pediatric medicine. Thanks to generous support from community partners like Walmart and Sam’s Club, Levine Children’s continues to grow, care, and innovate. Funds raised through the retailer’s annual “Spark Good” campaign provide direct support for state-of-the art medical resources, including specialized neonatal intensive care and progressive care equipment, and comprehensive patient programs that improve the lives of thousands of kids each year.
“We’re honored to be celebrating our 36-year partnership with Levine Children’s Hospital — representing an incredible milestone for Walmart and Sam’s Club. Year after year, our employees have boldly shared Atrium Health’s vision to transform children’s health care and ensure a healthy tomorrow — for all patients and families in our region,” said Jason Leisenring, Regional Vice President, East BU Region 4, Walmart Stores Inc.
