Walmart Canada Annual Partnership Report 2023
Partners in Children’s Health
Your Giving and Impact
Thank You
Walmart marked an extraordinary milestone in 2023, surpassing $200 million in total cumulative giving to Canada’s children’s hospitals. Teams did not slow down in the wake of this achievement. Despite economic headwinds facing customers, energetic fundraising efforts by Walmart associates led to nearly $15.3 million in additional support this year.
A set of thank-you assets, including postcards and an online video, was created to express appreciation to associates for their essential contributions to Walmart’s fundraising success.
The return of Champion launch events to Walmart stores helped bring renewed energy and excitement to the partnership.
Walmart celebrated the fifth anniversary of its Spark a Miracle Campaign in November and December, inviting customers to make donations to their local children’s hospital foundation, or purchase a Teddy – with $2 from every bear being directed to children’s health.

Your support made Harper’s heart transplant possible.
After surgery to address a serious heart abnormality, Harper suffered complications, eventually going into cardiac arrest, undergoing 50 minutes of CPR, and spending six weeks in critical care. In 2022, soon after her fifth birthday, Harper received a heart transplant – and began to regain her strength and skills. Today, she’s back at school and sharing her love of singing, dancing, and Disney princesses with the world. Support from Walmart helps children’s hospitals help kids like Harper overcome incredible odds.
