Sure, we get excited about hammers and screwdrivers, coolers and grills, paint cans and weed killer. But what really keeps us going is our spectacular northern Colorado community. Read on to learn about our most recent philanthropy project!

Ace Hardware of Fort Collins had the opportunity to raise funds for Children’s Miracle Network, an incredible organization that supports 170 children’s hospitals across the country. On Aug. 4 and 5, we asked our customers to donate $5 to Children’s Miracle Network in exchange for a limited-edition five-gallon bucket and 20 percent off everything they could fit in the bucket. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we raised a grand total of $903.64!

The Ace Hardware of Fort Collins team would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all who participated in this fundraiser. This was the most we’ve ever raised for this charity, and all your donations translate to expert medical care, compassion and healing for millions of ill children and their families. While $5 may not seem like an exorbitant amount, it makes a world of difference to those who are facing heartbreaking situations.

We look forward to continuing to support our community in the future!
