Thank you national truck Drivers

To those that keep America running, we salute you. This year, National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is September 13-19 and the week means even more this year considering the crucial role professional truck drivers have played during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Throughout the pandemic, Knight Transportation and Swift Transportation drivers have kept America running as essential employees.

This fall, our friends at Knight Transportation are kicking off their support of El Paso Children’s Hospital with an employee giving campaign. Thank you to all our driving and non-driving associates who know kids can’t wait. We appreciate your generosity!

By funding children’s hospitals through customer and employee donations, CMN Hospitals are transforming how they meet the urgent needs brought on by the pandemic, while also maintaining an exceptional standard of care and preventing and preparing for health challenges to come.

With the help of dedicated drivers crisscrossing our nation, children’s hospitals like Evan’s can change kids’ health and change the future.

Join us to thank these heroes of the road—who keep America moving!

Kids like Evan are helped every day thanks to generous contributions. Evan is no stranger at his children’s hospital.

When Evan’s mother was 20 weeks into her pregnancy, physicians diagnosed Evan with spina bifida, a defect effecting the spinal column, which occurs when the spine and the spinal cord don’t form properly.

Once Evan was born, he was rushed to his local children’s hospital for a life-saving surgery closing a hole in his back. For the first few years of his life, Evan would have multiple surgeries including a surgery to provide Evan with a trach and a feeding tube after he had trouble swallowing.

Thanks to donations, Evan is an active boy who walks, swims, loves to fish, canoe and he plays baseball for the Miracle League, an inclusive sports league in Arkansas.

With nearly a decade worth of visits to his children’s hospital, Evan and his family are thankful to receive care close to home now that donations have helped support a new, additional children’s hospital location even closer to home.
