Walmart and Sam’s Club stores across Connecticut (excluding Fairfield County) will invite customers to round up their total or make a donation at checkout from June 8 – July 6, 2026, in support of Connecticut Children’s, a proud member of Children’s Miracle Network.
Since 1992, Walmart and Sam’s Club have raised more than $6.4 million for Connecticut Children’s. These vital funds support lifesaving care, leading-edge research, and specialized programs that help children heal and thrive. Every donation—no matter the size—helps fuel innovative treatments, purchase critical medical equipment, and ensure that every child receives the highest quality care, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
This campaign is one of the largest and most impactful annual efforts benefiting Connecticut Children’s. The generosity of Walmart, Sam’s Club, and their customers helps us meet our greatest needs—so we can deliver breakthroughs in pediatric care, improve access to essential services, and create healthier futures for kids across the region.

Walmart & Sam's Club Locations across Connecticut, excluding Fairfield CountyMeet Our 2026 CMN Champion, Ellie
For Ellie, visiting the hospital doesn’t feel scary. It feels familiar. It means seeing her favorite doctors, laughing with staff who know her well, and playing video games in her dad’s office at Connecticut Children’s Family Resource Center.
Ellie was born with Down syndrome and several medical conditions that affect her health and development. She has a congenital heart defect that limits her stamina, a thyroid condition that requires regular blood tests and daily medication, and low muscle tone that contributes to gastrointestinal challenges. From the very beginning, Ellie’s life has been shaped by the need for ongoing, coordinated care—and by a healthcare community that has supported her every step of the way.
