San Bernardino, California-based Stater Bros. Markets is joining forces with its charity foundation for a third year to raise funds to support pediatric cancer patients at City of Hope. Through May 21, all locations will participate in the Kids 4 Hope in-store campaign.
City of Hope is a research and treatment center for cancer, treating blood disorders that occur most often in children, adolescents and young adults, including leukemia and lymphoma, bone, joint and soft tissue tumors and brain tumors.
“Cancer is a horrible disease, and when it affects a child, it can be devastating,” said Danielle Oehlman, director of Stater Bros. Charities. “That’s why we’re proud to participate in Kids 4 Hope again this year, so that City of Hope can continue their important work for children with cancer and their families.”
Shoppers will be able to donate by purchasing $1 and $5 mobiles when they check out. Donations will also be accepted online or by texting “KIDS4HOPE” to 41444.
Funds collected during the campaign will support programs at the City of Hope, including child life services, patient navigation, academic advocacy, transportation assistance and pediatric palliative care. These programs focus on meeting the emotional, psychological and social needs of cancer patients and their families during hospitalization and outpatient treatment.
