Step Up to Help Kids During Ace Hardware Bucket Days August 2 – 4 and Change Kids’ Health
Ace customers like the reward of transformation. The ability to build, create, and improve. That’s why the helpful place makes it easy to create lasting change, including how East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, a member hospital of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, cares for kids.
Each year, more kids need the custom care that only children’s hospitals can provide. Children’s hospitals are on the frontlines when it comes to protecting the health of future generations. But they can’t do it alone.
When you step up to help kids and buy a miracle bucket at Ace Hardware, that five dollar donation, goes to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, your local member hospital, unlocking a world of possibilities. Allowing children’s that opportunity to lead healthy, fulfilling lives while also fostering that builders and creators of tomorrow, like Max!
Max was born through emergency C-section after his mother told her nurse during a routine appointment that she hadn’t felt him kick in a while. His parents were so excited to finally meet him, and while they were prepared for Max’s diagnosis of Down syndrome that they had discovered earlier in the pregnancy, they were not ready for the reason for the emergency C-section, which was that Max had had a stroke in utero. Thankfully, the staff from Children’s Hospital were on standby and were able to resuscitate Max moments after birth, and immediately transport him to ETCH to begin treating him for his stroke. Max’s family is so grateful for everyone a Children’s Hospital because if they had even been five minutes later to his delivery, Max would not be here today. He continues to receive the best care at Children’s Hospital, from follow-ups in just about every department to physical, occupational, and speech therapies.
You can help kids like Max and Victoria by making a $5 donation for an Ace Bucket this weekend! When you make your donation, you will also receive 20% off almost every item that fits inside your bucket. Make sure to head out to your local Ace Hardware to celebrate Bucket Days and support East Tennessee Children’s Hospital!
Together, we see what the future can be and are working to make it a reality. Because when we change kids’ health, we change the future – for all of us.
