American Car Care Centers Inc. (ACCC) and American Tire
Distributors (ATD) are sponsoring the first ACCC/Children’s Miracle Network
event on Jan. 20 at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite,
Ga.
This meeting will be the kickoff for the ACCC/Children’s
Miracle Network “ACCCelerating Miracles” fundraising retail promotion.
Between March 15 and April 15, ACCC dealers across the
country will be raising funds for their local children’s hospitals through an
initiative created by the American Car Care Centers. Each ACCC member will have
the opportunity to sell Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) balloons through their
dealership and participate in a mailing/sweepstakes campaign created to
encourage consumers to visit their local ACCC dealer to make a donation. Funds
raised by dealers will be donated to CMN hospitals in their respective
communities.
ACCC is the exclusive automotive sponsor of Children’s
Miracle Network.
CMN hospitals impact the lives of more children than any
other children's organization in the world, ACCC reports, providing
state-of-the-art care, life-saving research and preventive education to 17
million children per year.
There are 170 children's hospitals across the U.S. and Canada affiliated with Children's Miracle Network. In the United States, these CMN hospitals provide $2.5 billion per year in charitable care. CMN hospitals help children of all races, ages, religions, and ailments, regardless of financial means, notes ACCC.
