Wal-Mart Store No. 1227 on Bobby Jones Expressway presented a check for $54,808 to the Georgia Health Sciences Children’s Medical Center Thursday, funds raised through a six-week Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals campaign that ended in mid-June. The funds will go toward renovations on the fifth floor.
This campaign is one of many that Wal-Mart will coordinate this year to raise funds for CMN. Nearly a dozen area Wal-Mart stores and the Augusta Sam’s Club work together each year to create one of the most beneficial CMN partnerships for GHS Children’s Medical Center. The 12 locations raised about $200,000 combined for the Children’s Medical Center last year and have set a goal of $250,000 for this year.
The 154-bed Georgia Health Sciences Children's Medical Center is the second largest children's hospital in the state, providing the highest level of pediatric critical care and neonatal intensive care as well as a wide range of general and complex health care for children.
