Ace Retail Holdings help Children's Miracle Network

Ace Hardware is “a proud partner of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.”

Ace Retail Holdings, the parent company of Westlake Ace Hardware and Great Lakes Ace Hardware, announced that it has raised more than $1.2 million to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

“Our 2023 theme, ‘Tools of the Trade: Impacting Kids Today, Building a Better Tomorrow,’ reflects our commitment to strengthen communities where we operate and lay a solid foundation for those benefiting from the funds raised,” said Joe Jeffries, president and CEO, Ace Retail Holdings.

All the money raised stays in the communities, said the firm, where it was donated, to support Children’s Miracle Network-designated hospitals across the nation.

The contribution was made possible through generous donations by the hardware retailer’s customers and associates in more than 220 locations across the country, said the company.

Throughout the year, Westlake Ace and Great Lakes Ace stores engaged in various fundraising initiatives, said Ace, including the annual CMN bucket sale, round-up campaigns at the register, and other internal fundraising activities.

“We are proud to support CMN hospitals and the good work they are doing,” said Jeffries.

Westlake Ace Hardware and Great Lakes Ace Hardware are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Ace Retail Holdings – a division of Ace Hardware Corporation.
