November 23, 2021 – Beginning Nov. 26, holiday shoppers at Ace Hardware can support Lee Health’s youngest patients through the annual Ace Holiday Round Up fundraising campaign.
The Ace Holiday Round Up campaign runs through Dec. 24 and benefits Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN). As a CMN partner, Golisano Children’s Hospital receives support from its affiliated fundraising efforts, like the Ace Holiday Round Up campaign.
This holiday season, shoppers can help the pediatric patients of Golisano by rounding up to the next dollar when they shop at local Ace Hardware locations.
When shoppers are checking out at the cash register, they’ll be asked by the Ace Hardware employee if they’d like to round up their purchase. If they participate, the extra change will then be donated to Golisano Children’s Hospital, which is the region’s only children’s hospital.
“The holidays are such a special time for families here in our community, and the Ace Holiday Round Up campaign is a great and meaningful way to give back to the patients at Golisano. Every penny donated makes a difference and helps the children in our care,” said Chris Simoneau, Lee Health’s Chief Foundation and Development Officer.
In 2020, Ace Hardware raised more than $100,000 for Golisano Children’s Hospital.
