SALT LAKE CITY and TEMPLE, Texas -- CEFCO Convenience Stores in six states will be raising funds March 5 through April 30 for vital pediatric equipment, treatments, therapy programs and charitable care to benefit local sick and injured kids through the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Beginning tomorrow, CEFCO employees are rallying to help their nearest CMN Hospital by asking customers to "purchase" a $1 Miracle Balloon paper icon. Each donation at the register will be rewarded with $1 off a sandwich/drink combo.
CEFCO has raised more than $2.1 million for local sick and injured kids since partnering with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. In 2013, CEFCO had a 40% increase in campaign totals for CMN Hospitals. In addition to its eight-week Miracle Balloon campaign, the convenience store chain hosts an annual golf tournament at its headquarters in Temple, Texas to benefit the charity. The campaign will includes CEFCO stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
As with all Children's Miracle Network Hospitals register fundraisers, all donations stay local.
CEFCO is an independently owned chain of convenience stores based in Temple, Texas, with sites in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
