Good evening,

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the call earlier today. Now that Walmart has made it’s official announcement to pause Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fundraising to focus their efforts on disaster relief for those affected by Hurricane Harvey we can share further details with you. CMN Hospitals fundraising will pause from Aug. 31 through Sept. 6 and resume on Sept. 7 – Oct. 8. Click here to see the document that outlines the details of this postponement.

Below find Walmart’s message to CMN Hospitals:

Since making landfall last weekend, Hurricane Harvey has caused catastrophic damage across Texas and Louisiana. As a company, Walmart cares about children and wants to make sure that they continue to support local children’s hospitals. With the effects of Hurricane Harvey, they understand the need to make sure that they are doing all that is needed to support their neighbors in their local communities with basic needs.

We commend Walmart’s efforts to support the millions of people affected by Hurricane Harvey and are grateful for their unwavering support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

If you have any questions about the Walmart & Sam’s Club campaign please reach out to your area director. Thank you all for your continued dedication to the kids.

Best,

John Lauck

President & CEO
