BJ’s Wholesale Club (NYSE: BJ) is helping spread holiday cheer
this season. From supporting toy drives to delivering gifts and
providing funds for essential needs, BJ’s Charitable Foundation is
partnering with children’s hospitals in communities throughout the
East Coast, Midwest, and South to help ensure everyone experiences
holiday magic.
“At BJ’s, we are driven by a powerful purpose: taking care of
the families who depend on us,” said Bob Eddy, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “This means we have a deep commitment to making
a positive difference in the communities where we live and work.
This holiday season, we’re proud to live our purpose by helping
patients and families of children’s hospitals enjoy the holiday
season.”
- Nemours Children’s Health (Orlando & Jacksonville,
FL): Through donations of toys and funds, BJ’s is supporting
Holidays with Nemours Children’s Health, supporting the Elf
Workshop event December 19-20 in Orlando where families with
children at the hospital can easily pick out gifts without having
to leave the campus. Families that visit Nemours outpatient clinic
in Jacksonville on December 19th will also receive special holiday
gifts. BJ’s team members will be on hand to distribute toys to
families at both events.
- Children’s Hospital of Michigan (Detroit, MI): BJ’s is
also helping the Snowpile holiday program, which makes it easy for
families at the hospital to “shop” for gifts from their children’s
wish lists right onsite. BJ’s will donate over 1,000 Squishmallows
for the event – one of the year’s most requested toys – along with
refreshments for event staff and volunteers.
- Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt
(Nashville, TN): BJ’s Charitable Foundation is proudly
contributing to the Jingle Toy Drive and Champs Holiday House
gifting event. Both initiatives ensure holiday cheer is enjoyed by
all this season.
- NYC Health + Hospitals Police at Queens General Hospital
(Queens, NY): BJ’s will support the Toy Giveaway at Queens
General Hospital on December 17th by donating gift cards. The
Giveaway, open to both pediatric patients and the broader
community, aims to spread joy and hope to children in need while
creating lasting memories.
- UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center (Worcester, MA),
Milford Regional Medical Center (Milford, MA) and Boston
Children’s Hospital (Boston, MA): BJ’s is also helping to
fulfill key needs of patients and families through donations of
funds and gift cards.
“We’re honored to have BJ’s work alongside us this year to help
make the holidays special for our patients and their families,”
said James Henley, Associate Vice President, Enterprise Corporate
Philanthropy from Nemours Children’s Health. “We have the shared
goal of providing health and wellness for our community, and their
contributions this holiday season are truly meaningful.”
BJ’s holiday giving campaign is part of ongoing efforts by BJ’s
Charitable Foundation to provide essential needs to families in the
local communities where BJ’s members and team members live and
work. Through local and national non-profit partnerships, the
Foundation focuses on three main pillars: hunger relief, education,
and health and wellness.
Since its inception, the BJ’s Charitable Foundation has awarded
over $37 million to non-profit organizations, providing vital
support in BJ’s communities.
