Sam‘s Club employees Andrea Decicco (center) and Aleandron  Tolbert (right) are grilling hamburgers and hot dogs to raise money for the Upstate Golisano Children‘s Hospital. This multi-day barbeque, held outside the Erie Blvd. East store, is part of Sam‘s Club‘s year-round support of the Upstate Golisano Children‘s Hospital and other Children‘s Miracle Network hospitals.

Decicco and Tolbert are selling BBQ lunches for $3, and raising an average of $100 an hour. “Lots of customers are very generous with their donations,” notes Decicco.

Fellow employee Isaiah Compasso, left, chose a cheeseburger, soft drink and chips for his lunch.

During the months of May and June, Sam‘s Club is selling balloons and candy to benefit the Upstate Golisano Children‘s Hospital, in addition to hosting the barbeques. Sam‘s Club has Upstate Golisano Children‘s Hospital donation boxes in its stores year-round.
