Lundy TENA moult Ten and joining us on our Cat
one O three point seven Radiothon for Children's Nebraskas Christine
dust who is with the ACE Foundation at ACE Hardware. Christine,
thanks for joining us this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh, thank you for having me. Thrilled to be on.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Well, we're excited to have you with us. Tell us
about your partnership with Children's Miracle Network hospitals and the
ACE Helping Hands donation program if you would for sure.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
So, ACE Nationally has been a Children's Miracle Network partner
since nineteen ninety one. We've raised I think we're at
close to two hundred and forty million dollars during that time,
and we recently started a few years ago a program
called ACE Helping Hands. And we use money from our vendors,
so sink like Sturcel and Stanley Black Andducker and Weber

(00:50):
and all those brands you see in our stores. They
also are big donors and so we take their money,
and the hospitals across the country tell us about special
program that need funding, and so we heard about one
this past year at Children's Nebraska. They needed some funding
for their therapy dog program, and who doesn't love that.
We were thrilled to be able to support that program.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Now, right now, ACE Hardware is matching you dollar for
dollar for your donations. Christine, what message would you like
to share with our listeners and why it's so important
to give back to Children's Nebraska.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, I think i'd say, first of all, since we're matching,
if you were waiting, now's the time. Give now, and
we're going to match that donation. And I think the
most important thing to know and why we love our
partnership so much, is that one hundred percent of those
donations will stay right there to help local kids and families.

(01:47):
And ACE is your local hardware store, and we love
helping locally kids and families when they need it most.
So i'd say donate now.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well, it is certainly appreciated, and we appreciate a stepping
up the ACE Foundation at ACE Hardware. And again right now,
if you call in, they won't match you dollar for dollars,
So don't pass up this opportunity, Christine, do sat with Ace.
We certainly appreciate you joining us this morning, and passed
along our appreciation to our friends at ACE Hardware and
just tell them how much it means to us as

(02:17):
part of our radio time for children Sebraska this year.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Thank you so much, we appreciate you
