<p>“At Bob’s, giving back to the communities we’re part of isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Director of Communications, Community Outreach, and Public Relations. “Our Plushies for Charity program is one of my favorite examples of this. It brings our core value of fun to life for our guests, while also helping Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals bring comfort and healing to kids who truly need it most.”</p><p>CMN Hospitals support the health of 12 million kids each year across the U.S. and Canada. Donations go to local hospitals to fund critical life-saving treatments and healthcare services, along with innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services that put kids’ and families’ minds at ease during difficult hospital stays, and financial assistance for families who could not otherwise afford these services. </p><p>“On behalf of everyone at CMN Hospitals, I want to express our deepest gratitude to Bob’s Discount Furniture for their incredible support,” shares Staci Cross, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for CMN Hospitals. </p><p>Bob’s Discount Furniture has supported Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for more than three years and has contributed nearly $200,000 to support local member hospitals coast-to-coast! </p> </div>
