Meet Rosie, Our Inspiration for Our Children's Miracle Network Campaign Push in Highland, Illinois

Highland Community,

As you see in the photos, we were blessed with a visit from Rosie today.  She is the beautiful 7-month-old niece to one of our employees here in Highland.  She was born very prematurely at just 21 weeks and is a true princess warrior.  She has overcome all obstacles that has tried to keep her from being a blessing to her mom and dad with the help of Children's Hospital in St. Louis.

So, you see- this campaign meant more to us in Highland.  Rosie is part of the extended family here at Circle K in Highland.  

We did get a heads up that they were coming to see us today, but they had no idea what we had in store for them.  Upon arrival, we presented a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Mom, a teddy bear for Rosie, CMN t-shirts for Mom & Dad and a box of goodies for the whole family including two Circle K fuel discount cards to offset the cost of gas back and forth to Children's Hospital.  Additionally, we provided them with a small and humble Circle K gift card for $25 to help out with a tank of gas.

Our team has a different perspective on our CMN balloon campaign, we saw a miracle happen and we want to see it again when another family needs assistance.

We know that our efforts are helping Rosie and other local families that desperately need the help of Children's Miracle Network hospitals.

Currently at the close of yesterday's business, we have raised $3541.77 and we are pushing hard until May 25th to reach our stretch goal.  We just wanted to take a moment to let you know that the heart of the community is behind all of the children/families in need.  We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of something much bigger.  

 

Many Thanks,

Lisa & Our Entire Circle K Highland Team
