We all know the phrase \u201cevery penny\u00a0counts,\u201d but how often do we apply it to our lives?<\/p>\n
In today\u2019s economy, some people are pinching pennies and others are tossing them into fountains, but since Sunshine Ace Hardware declared Children\u2019s Miracle Network as its primary charitable partner in 2019, generous customers have been tossing their spare change into Miracle donation buckets.<\/p>\n
Despite our region\u2019s strong economy, local families still face financial uncertainty and when medical emergencies arise, pinching pennies to make ends meet isn\u2019t always enough. Children\u2019s Miracle Network ensures that sick and injured children in our community get the care they need and deserve. Donations to Children\u2019s Miracle Network help fund critical life-saving treatments, health care services, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment and child life services.<\/p>\n
Every year, Sunshine Ace Hardware stores host a series of fundraising initiatives to benefit pediatric care through Children\u2019s Miracle Network. And those initiatives are approaching a significant milestone. At last check, the cumulative fundraising total over the past six years had reached $488,052. It\u2019s incredible to think that we\u2019re about to cross the half-million-dollar mark.<\/p>\n
For the holiday season, all Sunshine Ace Hardware stores are participating in a Holiday Round Up. Now until Dec. 24, customers can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar to support Children\u2019s Miracle Network\u2019s mission and ease the medically related financial burden of local families.<\/p>\n
Donations made at Sunshine Ace Hardware stores in Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties support Golisano Children\u2019s Hospital of Southwest Florida in Fort Myers. Donations at Sunshine Ace Hardware in Pinellas County and Crowder Bros. Ace Hardware stores in Manatee County support Johns Hopkins All Children\u2019s Hospital in St. Petersburg. Both hospitals are members of the Children\u2019s Miracle Network, which helps support families with sick or injured children\u00a0focus\u00a0on healing.<\/p>\n
When you choose to shop at Sunshine Ace Hardware and round up or toss loose change into the Miracle bucket, your purchase funds a greater purpose. Join us in turning your pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters into a miracle \u2013 not just this holiday season, but all year round. <\/p>\n
