Love’s Travel Stop locations in Hays and Ellis are raising money for Via Christi Hospitals in Wichita, the local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital affiliate, through Sept. 30. On Saturday, Sept. 17, the Hays store will host a family event to raise money in front of Big Creek Crossing Mall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There will be games, snow cones, hamburgers, cotton candy, face painting and more. All donations go to the hospital.

The event is part of Love’s Travel Stops annual companywide campaign to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. All the money raised in Hays and Ellis goes to Via Christi. From Aug. 26 through Sept. 30, more than 390 locations are raising money for local CMN hospitals by selling paper balloons for $1, $5 or $20, and hosting various events. For 18 years, Love’s and its customers have raised more than $15 million to help sick and injured children.
