“At Ace Hardware we’re committed to being the helpful place and part of that is our commitment to giving back to the community we serve. We are locally owned and locally giving back. We could not do this without our community support. West Star Aviation plays a major part in our fundraising efforts for Children’s Miracle Network. West Star Aviation buys pallets of buckets from us several times throughout the year and 100% of those sales go to help the kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital and SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital,” said Ray Johnson, Owner of Ace Hardware in Bethalto, IL. “Ace Hardware employees and customers went above and beyond—raising more funds for programs and services insurance does not cover, vital equipment, and major hospital renovations —which helps create more miracles for sick children in our neighborhoods.”
Ace Hardware has already starting fundraising for 2025. This year Ace Hardware will host Ace Bucket Day on August 1, 2, and 3rd. Customers can buy a bucket for $5 (proceeds benefit CMN-STL) and receive 20% off of items they fill their bucket with (*select items not eligible for discount). Stores will also continue Round Up for Kids campaign where customers can round up their change to the nearest dollar.
