Walmart and Sams Club associates, customers and members wrapped up a six-week register campaign from May 1 June 13 to raise funds for Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals, a nonprofit that raises funds and awareness for 170 childrens hospitals across North America.
By inviting customers and members to Put Their Money Where The Miracles Are at the register, Walmart and Sams Club associates surpassed their goal of raising more than $ 40 million, mostly one dollar at a time from customers and associates alike. Sam’s Club hit a record-breaking fundraising year, with customers and associates contributing more than $ 5 million to that total.
The money we raise saves lives. Over the course of our six-week campaign, we collectively raised more than $ 40 million, said Celia Swanson, senior vice president of Talent Development at Walmart. What we have accomplished year over year through our Walmart, Sams Club and Logistics campaigns shows that CMN Hospitals fundraising matters and makes a huge impact in our local communities.
Since 1987, Walmart and Sams Club have raised more than $ 740 million for sick and injured kids. Funds are used by each hospital where they are needed most, helping to provide charitable care, therapy programs and fund specialized, life-saving treatment and equipment.
Walmart and Sams Club associates, customers and members play a vital role in supporting their community by giving sick and injured kids the necessary care they need to live better, said John Lauck, president and CEO of Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals. We are very appreciative of the give-back spirit and unwavering encouragement that associates bring to our fundraising campaign, and we are humbled by the generosity we see from customers.
Walmart continues to raise awareness for CMN Hospitals throughout June through promotions in its Baby department.

Taking advantage of a burgeoning marketplace and a flourishing economy, especially in energy-rich states, many Canadian investors are choosing to take advantage of the EB-5 Visa program.
Foreigners with at least $ 500,000 capital wishing to pursue permanent residency in the United States may apply for an EB-5 Visa. The program, created by Congress, is a way to create more jobs and stimulate the economy. This program requires that foreigners invest at least $ 500,000 and create 10 full time jobs for U.S. employees within two years. The standard investment for an EB-5 visa is $ 1,000,000 or $ 500,000 if the candidates invest in rural areas or targeted employment areas. When investing in commercial real estate, such as an apartment building, which doesnt create at least 10 jobs, the investor has the option of obtaining an E-2 Visa.
The affordable real estate market in the southwest combined with a lack of red tape to start a new corporation has really boosted the number of Canadians investing in the U.S.., explained Irena Juras of the Juras Law Firm.
Demand among foreign investors is increasing, though there is a limit of 10,000 visas issued per year including spouses and dependents. Of the 10,000 EB-5 visas which are available annually, 3,000 of the visas are reserved for investors of Regional Centers. Regional Centers are economic units that promote job creation and investment in a specific region of the U.S.
