'Miracle Balloons' to Take Flight at Kroger

Kroger store walls throughout the Atlanta area - including Woodstock and Towne Lake - will soon be dotted with “Miracle Balloons” in honor of the grocer’s annual fundraiser benefitting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta – a member hospital of the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN). 

From May 19 to June 8, customers can purchase $1 hot-air balloon icons at checkout to help Kroger reach its goal of raising $350,000 to benefit local children’s hospitals.

"We are honored to be a part of the Children’s Miracle Network fundraiser annually," said Glynn Jenkins, director of communications and public relations for Kroger’s Atlanta Division. "We consistently experience an outpouring of support from our local communities in providing assistance to local children’s hospitals and the families they serve."

CMN, one of the world’s leading children’s charities, is a nonprofit organization that raises money for more than 170 hospitals nationwide, affecting the lives of more children than any other organization in the world.

Donations to CMN help ensure children’s hospitals have the resources they need to help diagnose or treat every disease and injury imaginable, thus saving and improving the lives of 17 million children each year.

Proceeds collected through Kroger’s fundraiser will benefit local CMN member hospitals throughout the Atlanta Division, which includes Georgia, South Carolina, Northern Alabama and Eastern Tennessee. For more information, visit the store's website.
