Sunshine Ace Hardware's 'Miracle Bucket Sale' to raise money for Children's Miracle Network

NAPLES, Fla. - July 25, 2025 - PRLog -- Fifteen Sunshine Ace Hardware and Crowder Bros. Ace Hardware stores across Southwest Florida are hosting a three-day Miracle Bucket Sale to raise money for Children's Miracle Network.

From Aug. 1-3, customers can donate $5 or more in exchange for a specially marked five-gallon Ace Hardware bucket to use as a shopping basket, earning a 20% discount on nearly everything they can fit inside. In 2024, nearly 900 customers contributed $4,442 during the campaign to support pediatric health care in the region.

Donations made at Sunshine Ace Hardware stores in Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties support Golisano Children's 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's Hospital in St. Petersburg. Both hospitals are members of Children's Miracle Network, a nonprofit organization that partners with national organizations like Ace Hardware to help fund critical life-saving treatments, health care services, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment and child life services.

Since declaring Children's Miracle Network as its primary charitable partner in December 2019, Sunshine Ace Hardware and Crowder Bros. Ace Hardware have raised $482,182 through a series of successful fundraising campaigns and initiatives.
