Ollie's Raises Over $683,000 for Children's Miracle Network

Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings, Inc., recognized as America's fastest-growing retailer of brand-name closeout merchandise, has announced an impressive achievement for its community support initiatives. From May 17 to June 13, 2026, Ollie's conducted its annual in-store fundraising campaign, successfully raising over $683,000 for the Children's Miracle Network (CMN). This year's campaign involved 671 stores across 35 states, collectively benefiting 104 children's hospitals serving local communities.

The partnership between Ollie's and the Children's Miracle Network has flourished over the past 16 years. Since its inception, Ollie's has raised an astounding $5.5 million through various initiatives designed to support children and families facing urgent medical challenges. Scott Osborne, Senior Vice President of Stores at Ollie's, expressed pride in the company's longstanding relationship with CMN, emphasizing the profound impact that customer generosity has made in local communities.

"Through the generosity of our customers, we have raised millions to support the local communities in which we serve. We appreciate everyone who participated in this year's campaign. Your willingness to donate at a time when budgets are tight is inspiring. Together, we are making a big difference in kids' lives," stated Osborne.

Children's Miracle Network, established to raise funds for children's hospitals across the U.S. and Canada, uses these donations to ensure that every child receives the specialized care they need. The organization focuses on various sectors, including investing in research, providing training for the next generation of healthcare professionals, and alleviating the concerns of families during challenging times.

Julie Breckenkamp, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at CMN, praised Ollie's for their commitment over the years, highlighting how the campaign has succeeded immensely thanks to the combined efforts of their associates and customers.

"Ollie's has been an incredible partner for Children's Miracle Network for more than 16 years. We're grateful for the passion and generosity their associates and customers bring to this campaign year after year. Together, they have raised more than $5.5 million to help support children and families in communities across the country," said Breckenkamp.

This recent campaign not only showcases the power of community support but underscores Ollie's commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of children facing health challenges. Their model of offering Real Brands! Real Bargains!® allows them to operate with a flexible buying strategy, focusing on closeout merchandise and excess inventory. With 672 stores currently in operation, Ollie's continues to expand its reach and influence.

As a go-to destination for shoppers looking for great deals, Ollie's mission to sell Good Stuff Cheap® is matched only by its determination to uplift communities and contribute significantly to charitable causes such as the Children's Miracle Network.

With the funds raised from this year's campaign, children's hospitals will be better equipped to provide vital services and support to families in need.
