Costco Wholesale Raises $204,000 for Stead Family Children’s Hospital Through May CMN Campaign
In a powerful display of community spirit and corporate generosity, Costco Wholesale has once again stepped up for kids and families in need. Through their May Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Customer Ask Campaign, Costco raised an astounding $204,000 for University of Iowa Health Care Stead Family Children’s Hospital — a beacon of hope and healing for children across the region.
Throughout the month of May, Costco locations across Iowa invited customers to donate at checkout as part of the CMN campaign. These small acts of kindness added up in a big way.
- 💬 Customer Ask Campaign: Shoppers were encouraged to make a donation during their purchase — a simple “Would you like to donate to help local kids?” sparked thousands of generous responses.
- 🏥 Local Impact: Every dollar raised stays local, directly supporting pediatric programs, life-saving equipment, and family-centered care at Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
- 🤝 Team Effort: Costco employees played a vital role, enthusiastically promoting the campaign and sharing stories of how the hospital touches lives in their own communities.
Stead Family Children’s Hospital is more than just a medical facility — it’s a place where children battling serious illnesses find comfort, care, and courage. Funds raised through CMN campaigns help ensure that every child receives the best possible care, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
To every Costco team member, customer, and community supporter — thank you. Your compassion and commitment are changing lives. The Stead Family Children’s Hospital is stronger because of you.
