As Costco’s business has expanded, so has their support of Children’s Miracle Network. In 2005, they started selling Miracle Balloons in their locations and donations increased significantly. Throughout the month of May, Costco warehouses steadily fill with familiar red and yellow paper balloons. Now, Costco is the single largest seller of Miracle Balloons; their warehouses, on average, raise $59,000 per location. In fact, three Costco Canada warehouses in Western Canada broke the $100,000 plateau during their 2008 campaign, which translates to a total of over $4.5 million raised last year! The team at Costco has put Children’s Miracle Network at the top of their agenda, with the exceptional leadership from their CEO, Senior Executives and Regional Marketing Mangers. In addition to investing significantly in a corporate match program, the executive team energizes and supports their associates in a huge way, enabling them to continue to raise the bar in support of kids. Since the partnership began, Costco has raised more than $25 million in support of Children’s Miracle Network hospitals in Canada. In Costco warehouses from coast-to-coast, their associates and members truly do make miracles happen.
