Rocky’s Ace Hardware ‘Round Up for Kids’ raises more than $41,000
48 stores across 9 states participated in fundraising campaign
Rocky’s Ace Hardware, one of the country’s largest family-owned Ace Hardware dealers with 48 locations in nine states, kicked off the season of giving with its semi-annual “Round Up for Kids” fundraiser, raising a grand total of $41,376.96. Throughout the campaign, which took place during the month of November, customers rounded up their purchase totals to the next dollar. The difference was donated to the Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) Hospital nearest to each store.
“More than decking our stores in garland and lights, it’s this Round Up event that marks the beginning of the holiday season for us,” said Rocky’s Ace Hardware President Rocco J. Falcone II. “We are proud to support CMN, which helps more than 10 million kids each year.”
This is the second “Round Up for Kids” fundraiser Rocky’s has held this year, with 100 percent of the money raised going to benefit each store’s closest CMN Hospital including:
- Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital in Portland, Maine
- Baystate Children’s Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts
- Boston Children’s Hospital in Massachusetts
- Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
- Children’s Specialized Hospital in Brunswick, New Jersey
- Connecticut Children’s Hospital in Hartford
- Dayton Children’s Hospital in Ohio
- Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence
- Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, New York
- UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital in Gainesville, Florida
“It is our honor to support CMN and the important work they do for children in our community,” Falcone said. “We are grateful for our customers—without their generosity, this campaign wouldn’t be possible.”
Since 1983, CMN Hospitals have helped fill funding gaps by raising more than $7 billion. Its various fundraising partners and programs support the nonprofit’s mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
