City, OK – August 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Love’s
Travel Stops (Love’s) will raise money for sick and injured children
through its five-week store campaign beginning Sunday, Aug. 26 and ending
Sunday, Sept. 30. Over the past 18 years, Love’s has raised more than $25
million for Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals®. During this 19th annual campaign, Love’s is offering
its Customers the option of donating by rounding-up their change on gasoline
purchases or in-store restaurant purchases. In addition, more than 460
Love’s locations will sell Miracle balloons for $1, $5, or $20 and hold
events to raise money for patient families in their communities.
“We
are very thankful for our Employees and our Customers who continue to support
our CMN fundraising campaign year after year,” said Jenny Love Meyer, vice
president of communications for Love’s. “Each year our incredible store
teams look forward to getting involved in this campaign to help their local
CMN Hospital. We are proud to help save lives in communities where we serve
our Customers.”
The
campaign raises funds and awareness for 170 CMN Hospitals that provide
32 million treatments each year to kids across North America. Donations
stay local to help care for children in those communities. This year, Love’s
hopes to raise more than $3 million through its annual store campaign,
which will benefit 101 partner hospitals.

Customers
can support kids in their communities by purchasing paper balloons at the
registers. Balloons can be purchased with or without additional items.
Love’s stores nationwide also organize events like bake sales, cookouts,
golf tournaments, 5K runs and more, which provide Customers with additional
opportunities to get involved and donate.
Love’s
will show additional support for CMN Hospitals this year on National Coffee
Day. Friday and Saturday, September 28 and 29, Love’s will donate money
from the sale of all 24-ounce coffees and cappuccinos to CMN Hospitals.
In honor of National Coffee Day, all 24-ounce hot beverages will cost $1.
“We
are so grateful for Love’s unwavering commitment to Children’s Miracle
Network Hospitals,” said John Lauck, president and CEO of Children’s Miracle
Network Hospitals. “Love’s employees and customers have fueled our hospitals
with so many miles of miracles over the years - like helping provide specialized
research, equipment and treatment as well as care for families regardless
of their ability to pay. We’re thrilled to see what the campaign brings
this year.”
