Walmart has just wrapped up a fundraising effort for the Children's Miracle Network for the Stormont Vail Health Flint Hills Campus in Junction City. The goal is to help youth in the Junction City area.

According to Steven Mendoza Jr., Front End Coach at the Walmart Supercenter, the effort raised $11,635. "We're just real excited." The fundraiser generated over $1,000 more than in 2023 to help the community.

Mendoza noted one customer service representative, Deb Soldano raised a little over $6,000 of the total through cotton candy sales. The fundraiser ran June 7 through July 7.

Walmart conducts similar annual fundraisers at their stores.
