Rite Aid Corporation, with more than 3,500 stores in 30 states and the District of Columbia, has raised funds for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals with an annual balloon campaign since 1994. With nearly $20 million raised to date, Rite Aid's 73,000 associates are dedicated to giving back to the communities in which they serve.
The Miracle Balloons sold at Rite Aid locations include valuable manufacturer’s coupons, rewarding customers for their generosity. In addition to selling the $1 paper balloons, individual stores create their own unique ideas to raise funds including bake sales, carnivals, sports memorabilia auctions, bar-b-ques, golf tournaments and car washes. Rite Aid associates raised $4 million in 2004.
Rite Aid Corporation is one of the nation's leading drugstore chains, combining its modern store base, strong brand name, modern distribution centers and superior pharmacy technology with a talented team of approximately 72,000 full and part-time associates serving customers in 28 states and the District of Columbia.
