Customers Can Support Their Local Children's
Hospital by Purchasing $1 Paper Miracle Balloons
Rite Aid is celebrating a quarter century of miracles by hosting
its 25th annual Miracle Balloon campaign for Children's
Miracle Network Hospitals. Now through May 11, customers can donate
to their local children’s hospital by purchasing a $1 Miracle
Balloon at any Rite Aid location.
“Our Rite Aid team is proud to celebrate the 25th year of our
partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and our
continued commitment to making miracles happen for children and
families in our local communities,” said Rite Aid chief operating
officer Bryan Everett, who is also a member of The Rite Aid
Foundation board. “Thanks to the tremendous support of our
associates and customers, we’ve raised more than $92 million to
help our local hospitals provide the highest levels of care. We’re
really excited about the opportunity to raise even more money for
CMN Hospitals as we hold our annual in-store Miracle Balloon
campaign over the next several weeks.”
By purchasing a balloon for $1, customers at all Rite Aid
locations will receive a booklet with $7 in coupon offers for
select products sold at Rite Aid. All money raised at Rite Aid
stores will go directly to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital
closest to the specific store.
"We are incredibly thankful for the support of Rite Aid
associates, customers and supplier partners over the past 25
years,” said John Lauck, president and chief executive officer of
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “The Rite Aid team has a
