Costco donates over $1.2M to UC Davis Children’s Hospital

Costco team members across inland Northern California raised $1,250,382 for local pediatric patients during the annual Month of Miracles in May. The 2024 campaign for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospitals (CMN) supports UC Davis Children’s Hospital, the area’s only CMN Hospital.

A total of 19 area warehouses from Redding to Tracy asked members to make a donation at checkout. The Costco Business Center, Central Fill Center and Depot also took part in the fundraising effort, relying on team members and business partners, rather than customers. All funds raised locally stay local to help children in UC Davis Health’s 33-county service area.

“It’s so heartwarming to see the Costco associates’ excitement for the campaign. It inspires the customers and just makes the entire shopping experience fun for eveyone,” said Michelle Tafoya, program director for Children’s Miracle Network at UC Davis. “When the campaign ends and the totals come in, our hospital teams are always amazed at the tremendous generosity and we are even more proud that the money stays local to help our patients.”

Costco has raised close to $500 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1987. Donations support a full range of children’s services including research, education, equipment and clinical care and all funds raised locally stay local.

Currently, more than 600 Costco locations nationwide participate in this fundraising campaign. Contributions to CMN impact the ability of hospitals like UC Davis Children’s Hospital to meet urgent needs, while also maintaining an exceptional standard of care.
