Round Up to Change Kids’ Health with Ace Hardware April 1st – 30th
Ace Hardware customers know the power of transformation—whether it’s building, creating, or improving. That same spirit of change extends beyond home projects to making a real difference in children’s healthcare.
That’s why participating Ace Hardware locations are inviting you to round up your purchase from April 1 to April 30th helping raise critical funds for University of Iowa Health Care (UIHC) Stead Family Children’s Hospital, a proud member of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. In 2025, Ace Hardware locations across Iowa have set a goal of raising $750,000 over the next three years to support our new NICU on level 7 of UIHC Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Additionally, Ace Hardware voted to use funds raised through 2024 to support the Children’s Library, the Pediatric Injury Prevention and Community Outreach Program and the Center for Procedural Skills and Simulation. These funds will have a profound impact on each area.
Children’s hospitals are on the frontlines of pediatric care, ensuring kids receive the best treatments available. However, they rely on community support to continue their lifesaving work. Every cent rounded up at Ace Hardware goes directly to funding urgent needs, advancing life-saving research, and improving patient care at (UIHC) Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
Your donation makes a real impact on children like Piper who receive care from UIHC Stead Family Children’s Hospital. Piper was born with esophageal atresia which means her stomach and esophagus were not connected. Piper spent 173 days in our NICU and in her 8 years has undergone 55 surgeries. Despite all of the challenges, Piper continues to fight, showing remarkable strength and resilience. Donations to our hospital help kids like Piper receive the best care possible for their specific needs.
