ACE Hardware stores will kick off their annual Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Bucket Days fundraiser benefiting Children’s Hospital at Erlanger, the local CMN Hospital on Friday. Miracle Bucket Days will run through this Sunday.
Customers who make a $5 donation at participating Ace Hardware stores during Miracle Bucket Days will receive a limited edition five-gallon bucket and 20 percent off most everything that fits in the bucket (some exclusions apply). All proceeds from each bucket donation go directly to Children’s Hospital at Erlanger.
Last year, ACE Hardware raised over $49,000 through their various fundraisers throughout the year, officials said.
Patrons can meet Children’s Hospital at Erlanger’s Miracle Kids this Saturday at the following Elder’s Ace Hardware locations: Ooltewah, Cleveland, Chickamauga, Lafayette, Hixson, Red Bank and East Brainerd.
"As a not-for-profit hospital, Children’s Hospital at Erlanger depends on the support of generous donors and organizations in our region, including Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals programs like the Miracle Balloon icon sales and Round Up the Change campaign," officials said.
"These donations have helped provide specialty care and equipment at the region’s only children’s hospital."
