Create Change at JOANN this August

This August, JOANN stores across the country will be hosting a register campaign for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals at all retail locations across the country. As the nation’s leading fabric and craft specialty retailer, JOANN inspires customers to create and make change for the communities in which they operate.

Change can come in many forms, when you donate while shopping at JOANN the funds go to meet the most urgent needs at Dayton Children’s Hospital. From lifesaving treatments, to specialized equipment to the things that make kids feel like kids when they’re have an extended stay at our hospital. 

Your donations help support the health of kids like Declan.

When Declan’s mom found out her six-year-old son would be having surgery, she was nervous. Surgery is a stressful and scary time for any child but can be especially stressful for a child with autism. But the child life specialists at Dayton Children’s set out to ensure Declan was as comfortable as possible by creating a sensory friendly room specialized to his needs. Declan was able to see projections of fish on the wall, a fiberoptic bubble machine, and markers to color on the bed. He was even allowed to decorate his own mask with stickers. When it came time for his surgery, Declan wasn’t scared!

Be sure to visit JOANN for all your creative needs this August to create change for kids like Declan right here at Dayton Children’s by donating at the register. You can change kids’ health to change the future – for all of us!

Donations made at the following locations will go to Dayton Children’s:
