Love’s Travel Stops annual fundraising campaign for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals runs from Aug. 25 – Sept. 29 and benefits 116 CMN Hospitals across the U.S.
Customers have a variety of ways to donate. At Love’s Travel Stops, Country Stores and Speedco locations, they can purchase a $1, $5 or $20 balloon, round up their change or make a cash contribution. At Love’s hotels, teddy bears can be purchased for $19.99, and for National Coffee Day on Friday, Sept. 29, customers can purchase any sized coffee or hot beverage for $1 through the Love’s Connect app and all proceeds will go to CMN Hospitals.
