SIOUX CITY, IA -
A local partnership is raising money to help sick kids right here in Siouxland.
Children's Miracle Network is getting some fundraising help from Walmart and Sam's Club.
The stores have raised more than $600 million nationwide in the last 25 years, and the three Sioux City stores are out to beat last year's goal of $61,000.
Starting at midnight tonight, every time a cashier checks someone out, their register will prompt them to ask the customer if they'd like to donate to CMN.
"They can do one dollar, two dollars, five dollars, or a miscellaneous amount, even if it's just 50 cents or they want to give 20, they can be asked every time for 6 weeks here now," said Brian Rehnelt, store manager at the Walmart on Floyd Boulevard.
All of the money raised stays in the area, and provides medical care for children, and specialized training for doctors.
