Published on: June 17, 2026

Watertown, NY – Kinney Drugs has partnered with Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) since 1992, raising funds through their annual in-store campaign to support local children’s hospitals across the region. Thanks to the generosity of customers in their local communities, 17 Kinney Drugs locations in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties raised an incredible $62,859 for CMN at Samaritan.

These funds were donated at the register and collected through creative fundraising events, including trivia nights, bake sales, raffles and contests. With the support of the Kinney Drugs Foundation, locations were offered special incentives to reach ambitious fundraising goals. The campaign total increased 16% from 2025 to raise more than $230,000 for six CMN hospitals.

Samaritan Medical Center is one of 170 Children’s Miracle Network hospitals across North America, raising and allocating funds to improve the health and well-being of children in our local community. Every donation stays local to support child-centered areas of Samaritan and provide financial assistance to families in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties with a child facing a health crisis.

“Year after year, Kinney Drugs demonstrates their dedication to improving kids’ health in local communities,” said Angie VanWormer, Director of Children’s Miracle Network at Samaritan Medical Center. “With their support, we are able to help even more children and families when they need it most.”

Through their partnership with CMN, Kinney Drugs and the Kinney Drugs Foundation are helping to make big change for all kids.
