“For me to come out here to spend the day playing golf and be surrounded by people that want to give back and want to help was a no-brainer to be a part of,” Wood said.

In 2020, the Ace Hardware Foundation raised $17.9 million for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals across the country, and more than $2.3 million in support of Lurie Children’s Department of Family Services and Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.  

This year we’re happy to report that in just one day, they raised over $1 million.
