Rocky’s Ace Hardware, one of the country’s largest family-owned Ace Hardware dealers with 50 locations in nine states, raised a grand total of $91,687.19 with its “Round Up for Kids” fundraiser.
During two periods in 2024, one in the spring and another in November and December, 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. Nicklaus Children’s Hospital received $8,621.51 through the campaigns in 2024.
“We’re proud to be able to support such an important cause year after year,” said Rocky’s Ace Hardware President Rocco Falcone. “Children’s Miracle Network is transforming children’s health and giving hope to families facing unthinkable challenges.”
Local participating Rocky’s locations include four stores in Florida, including one in Wellington, with 100 percent of the money raised in those locations benefiting Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.
“It’s humbling to see how generous our customers are,” Falcone said. “This money helps fund critical lifesaving treatments and innovative research. We hope it also gives patients and families the assurance that their community cares.”
Since 1983, CMN Hospitals have helped fill funding gaps by raising more than $9 billion. Its fundraising partners and programs support the nonprofit’s mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
Rocky’s Ace Hardware, your neighborhood store for paint, hardware, lawn and garden, and grilling, has been in continuous operation, under the same family ownership, since opening its first location in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1926. For more information, visit www.rockys.com.
