Proceeds to Benefit Beaumont Children's, a Children's Miracle Network Hospital

Great Lakes Coca-Cola and Red Bull are joining area Walmart locations as they host their annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospital’s fundraising campaign. From now through September 30, partial proceeds from sales of Coca-Cola 6-pack mini cans, 4-packs of Monster Energy drinks, 24-pack cases of 12 oz. Red Bull cans, and 6 or 4-packs of 8.4 oz. Red Bull cans will be donated to Beaumont Children’s, a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

During Walmart’s annual campaign, shoppers are asked if they would like to make a donation to CMN as they leave the store. In October, Walmart/Sam’s Club will be announcing that their annual campaigns throughout the years have raised a billion dollars for CMN. In Southeast Michigan, the CMN donations stay in our community and benefit the young patients of Beaumont Children’s.

Since 1988, Beaumont has been the only Children’s Miracle Network Hospital in Southeast Michigan. One hundred percent of the donations raised in the local communities stays local to fund exceptional programs and services, vital pediatric equipment and scholarships for families who need financial assistance for medical care. Beaumont depends on community support to help fund these services. Through special events and grassroots fundraisers, such as Walmart’s annual campaign and the generosity of Great Lakes Coca-Cola and Red Bull, more than 200,000 children benefitted from CMN programs at Beaumont Children’s in 2017.
