Walmart & Sam’s Club spark good to change kids’ health at CHRISTUS Health System

Walmart and Sam’s Club raise critical donations for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals


6/05/2025

From June 9 through July 6, Walmart and Sam’s Club will launch their annual “Spark Good. Change Kids’ Health.” campaign, benefiting six CHRISTUS Health ministries through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals). The campaign supports:

  • CHRISTUS Children’s (San Antonio, Texas)
  • CHRISTUS Ochsner SWLA Health System (Lake Charles, Louisiana)
  • CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System (Beaumont, Texas)
  • CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System (Shreveport, Louisiana)
  • CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Health System (Alexandria, Louisiana)
  • CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Health System (Tyler, Texas)

Rooted in the belief that every child deserves a healthy, happy life, Walmart and Sam’s Club have raised more than $1 billion for CMN Hospitals since 1987. Every dollar donated during this campaign stays local, funding critical medical equipment, innovative research, and compassionate, family-centered programs that support children’s healing and well-being.

Customers and members can “Spark Good” for CHRISTUS pediatric patients by donating at the register, online at helpkidslivebetter.org, or through the Walmart app by rounding up and selecting their local CMN Hospital.

“The Walmart and Sam’s Club campaign plays a vital role in helping our ministries continue to deliver exceptional care to the children and families we serve,” said Scott Fossey, regional vice president and system director of philanthropy at CHRISTUS Health. “Through the incredible commitment of Walmart and Sam’s Club Associates, who rally their customers, members and communities, our health system is empowered to meet urgent needs and confront the most complex challenges in pediatric health care today.”

This partnership strengthens a legacy of care that CHRISTUS Health has upheld for generations across Texas and Louisiana. With the continued support of Walmart and Sam’s Club, our ministries are able to expand access to specialized pediatric services, bringing expert care closer to home and easing the burden on families who might otherwise have to travel long distances for treatment.

Together, we can change kids’ health and change the future for us all.
