Rite Aid will launch its 27th annual campaign
supporting children’s hospitals in August
Rite Aid will rally to change kids’ health and change the future
in August, when it launches its annual in-store customer
fundraising campaign benefiting Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals.
The campaign will run Aug. 1-28. All funds donated by customers
will benefit 53 local children’s hospitals providing lifesaving
care and services for kids in Rite Aid communities. This marks the
27th year for Rite Aid’s annual campaign, with customer support
helping the company and its public charity, The Rite Aid
Foundation, raise and donate more than $100 million overall to CMN
Hospitals.
During this year’s campaign, customers can donate during every
in-store transaction at Rite Aid. In addition to patient services,
charitable care and equipment, donations help pioneer research that
transforms how hospitals care for children not just in their youth,
but throughout their lives.
“The ripple effects of donations impact nearly every aspect of
treatment and services for children’s hospitals, and without the
help of caring partners like Rite Aid, many may face significant
impacts in the short- and long-term,” said Teri Nestel, president
and CEO of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “Every dollar Rite
Aid customers, associates and supplier partners raise truly changes
kids’ health and changes the future in every community our member
hospitals serve.”
As the COVID-19 pandemic proved, children’s hospitals are on the
frontlines when it comes to protecting the health of future
generations. The need hasn’t ended.
All donations made during Rite Aid’s campaign will stay local,
supporting the children’s hospitals in customers’ communities.
“The impact of every dollar raised goes far beyond hospital
walls. When we ensure kids live healthy lives, we help them become
the teachers, scientists, artists, inventors and leaders of
tomorrow,” said Bill Engen, senior vice president of retail
operations for Rite Aid. “Every year we are deeply touched by our
customers’ caring commitment to children’s health and look forward
to rallying with them to change lives this summer.”
