Empowering Children's Miracles with Every Purchase
Introduction to the "Round Up for Kids" Campaign
During this extensive campaign that lasts through December 31st, customers are encouraged to round up their purchase total to the next dollar. This simple act of kindness has a profound impact. The difference between the rounded-up amount and the original purchase price is generously donated to Children's Miracle Network (CMN) hospitals. As Rocco Falcone, President of Rocky's Ace Hardware, stated, "The healthcare professionals at these hospitals are doing the work of heroes." CMN plays a crucial role in providing medical treatment to over 10 million kids each year.Last year, this initiative raised an impressive amount of more than $41,000 across all Rocky's locations. The funds raised go directly to benefit local CMN hospitals, such as UF Health Shands Children's Hospital in Gainesville. Local participating stores include those in Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Wellington, and Tequesta.
Donations from this campaign help fund critical treatments, drive innovative research, provide pediatric equipment, offer financial assistance to families, and ensure that children's minds are at ease during difficult hospital stays.
The Impact of Customer Generosity
Every year, Falcone is amazed by the unwavering generosity of their customers. He emphasizes that Children's Miracle Network saves lives, and they are excited to contribute to this worthy cause once again. Rocky's Ace Hardware has been a neighborhood store since 1926, providing a wide range of products including paint, hardware, lawn and garden supplies, and grilling equipment. Under the same family ownership, it has been continuously serving the community.For more information about this amazing fundraiser and how you can get involved, visit rockys.com.
