Dear Friends, It is an exciting season for Costco Warehouses across North America. Every year during the month of May, loyal employees, members and businesses like yours rally together to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Renown Children’s Hospital serves more than 25,000 children annually and with your help, we can continue to ensure that every child can receive exceptional care in our community, regardless of their ability to pay. No child is ever turned away! Last year, the community helped Costco raise more than $318,000 for the kids at Renown Children’s Hospital. This year, we look to you to help us surpass last year’s fundraising total and make a lasting impact on families in our community(all funds raised stay local). Through your sponsorship or fundraising program, you can gain valuable exposure within our warehouse while making a difference for local kids. PLUS, 100% of your contribution is donated directly to Renown Children’s Hospital. Costco Wholesale matches a portion of EVERY donation, and 100% of your gift is tax-deductible. (TAX ID#94-2972749) For more information on advertising with us, please feel free to contact me at the information listed Below. Thank you in advance for all you do to support the kids in your community.
