DALLAS, June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Donations through
in-store Miracle Balloon Fundraising Campaigns at Stripes and APlus
stores helped raise more than $1.6 million
dollars for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN
Hospitals) around the country.
Since 2000, Stripes and APlus, owned and operated by Sunoco LP,
have partnered with CMN Hospitals to raise more than $12 million for sick and injured kids.
"Children's Miracle Network Hospitals are tremendous assets in
our communities and it is an incredible opportunity to work
alongside of them," said Eduardo
Pereda, VP of Convenience Brands. "We are extremely grateful
for the generosity of our customers and team members who raised
more than $1.6 million to help
continue to support children and their families during some of the
most difficult times in their lives."
Like all in-store CMN Hospitals fundraisers, 100 percent of
funds raised from Sunoco LP campaigns will benefit the community in
which they were raised. Those contributions help make miracles
happen by funding vital medical care, equipment and therapy
programs that save and improve the lives of more than 10 million
sick and injured children each year.
"It's partners like Sunoco LP that really make all the
difference in helping kids get the care they need," said
John Lauck, president and CEO,
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. "We are grateful to all the
Stripes and APlus employees and customers who gave so generously
during this year's campaign."
