Sunshine Ace Hardware recently announced 16 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. 7-9, 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 2025, local customers contributed $5,870 during the campaign to support pediatric health care in the region.
“We believe caring for your neighbor means using our time, talents and resources to make a difference,” says Michael Wynn, president of Sunshine Ace Hardware. “Supporting Children’s Miracle Network is one of the most impactful ways we can help families in our community, and we’re grateful to our customers for joining us in improving the lives of local children.”
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 $565,867 through a series of successful fundraising campaigns and initiatives.
