Participating Gratiot County Ace Hardware stores are doing their part to help children in need.

The 10th annual Miracle Bucket in-store fundraising event for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals kicks off on Aug. 5 through Aug. 7.

All customers at participating Gratiot County Ace Hardware stores will have the opportunity to make a $5 donation to their local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital. Each customer who donates will receive a limited-edition five-gallon Ace bucket and 20 percent off nearly everything that fits in it.

Ace Hardware has raised more than $170 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals in the last 31 years, thanks to the generosity of customers, vendor partners and corporate team members.

There is a one bucket per customer limit with certain conditions applying.
