Join Cincinnati Children’s and Ollie’s in caring for the community and Cincinnati kids!

Since 2007, the folks at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet have supported local children served at nearly 80 different children’s hospitals through their partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

They believe in supporting their community and give to their local CMN Hospitals annually through their Round-Up Campaign. The 2023 Round Up Campaign raised over $600,000 for children’s hospitals.

So, when you stop by your local Ollie’s from May 19 – June 15, make sure you round-up at the register to benefit Cincinnati Children’s and patients like Nora!

At sixteen weeks pregnant, Nora’s mom received news that one of her two twins had a heart defect. In Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC)’s Fetal Heart Clinic, they diagnosed Nora with Tetralogy of Fallot. When she was born, her family was planning her open-heart surgery, while also navigating her Down syndrome diagnosis. By seven months, she was big enough for her heart surgery, which was a tremendous success.

Since then, Nora’s family has worked with specialists and participated in research opportunities on how to measure outcomes and change in the development of individuals with Down syndrome. Even though Nora struggles with sleep apnea and has trouble with standardized testing, she rolls with the punches. She loves attention and the care at CCHMC. Her family sees a great future where Nora can live as an independent adult who engages with and gives back to her community.

Thank you, Ollie’s for giving back to Cincinnati Children’s! When you give at Ollie’s, you are helping us Change Kids Health to Change the Future.
