7-Eleven raised over $14 million in 2025 in support of Children’s Miracle Network, which will support 113 local children's hospitals across the country. The donations will help advance pediatric healthcare in local communities.

“At 7-Eleven Inc., we believe every child deserves a brighter, healthier future,” said Treasa Bowers, executive vice president and chief people & sustainability officer at 7-Eleven. “In 2026, we're expanding that commitment by offering in-store fundraising year-round across all 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes store locations. By investing in children's health today, we are helping communities thrive for generations to come. Together, we can make big change for all kids.”

Since 1991, 7-Eleven has raised more than $200 million for Children's Miracle Network. 

Wesco Inc. raised $322,756.11 through its annual Drive-Out Hunger in Our Neighborhoods round- up campaign.
“The Drive-Out Hunger campaign was launched 11 years ago following an internal vote among managers to identify charitable causes meaningful to the company. Food pantries received overwhelming support, largely because donations directly benefit local organizations serving Wesco’s communities,” the company said in a press release sent to NACS.

Each fall, Wesco store managers select a local food pantry to support. Since the program’s inception, Wesco has donated more than $2.3 million to local food pantries across Michigan.

Toot’n Totum donated $22,404.48 to Kids Inc. The funds were raised through the company’s Change for the Better Campaign.

The Texas-based retailer also presented a Spirit Pump check for $2,189.17 to Borger High School.
