Walmart Show & Shine Supports Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation

Walmart will kick-off their fundraising efforts in support of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan in a big way by hosting its 2nd Annual Walmart Show and Shine.  Visit Walmart Preston Crossing location (1706 Preston Avenue North) from 10am – 4pm to participate in this fun-filled day.

 From May 12 – June 12 Walmart stores across Canada are dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children’s hospitals.   In Saskatchewan, funds raised through the sale of Miracle Balloons, the Walmart Walk for Miracles and special events like the Walmart Preston Crossing Show and Shine benefit the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan, a proud member of Children’s Miracle Network®.

Thanks to Walmart Canada, its associates, customers, and vendor partners, more than $40 million has been raised for children’s hospitals across Canada since 1994. This feat has made Walmart Canada the Children’s Miracle Network’s largest corporate sponsor.
