I would hope in a scenario like this, they're not getting them at a discount.

Nope, they donated the full amount of the gift cards and 100% of the donation will directly fund healthcare.

Unless some people who claimed gift cards never use them?

Gift cards expire after 90 days, at which point the money on a gift card goes to our general fund for patients, so worst-case scenario, someone claims one of these and doesn't use it, the money will still go to patients' healthcare.

That is a fantastic way to handle this situation. I hadn't thought about this before, but it's great to know that the money will never go to waste!
