OAK BROOK, Ill., Nov. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Now more than ever, it's important to find ways to safely spread holiday cheer and bring towns together. What better way for communities to unite than combining holiday lights and a good cause? Today through December 7, Ace Hardware, the largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative in the world, is launching #AceLightsUpTheTown, a nationwide social media contest in support of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

During the promotion period, Ace Hardware is asking communities to decorate their homes with festive lights and share on social media using #AceLightsUpTheTown and #contest. The social share, when included with a city and state in the caption, will count towards an #AceLightsUpTheTown submission. The three towns with the most submissions will win a donation in the town's name to their local Children's Miracle Network hospital:

First place: $7,500 donation
Second place: $5,000 donation
Third place: $2,500 donation

"Since becoming a partner of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in 1991, Ace Hardware has raised more than $130 million for local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals nationwide. Nearly 30 years later, our aim to be the 'Helpful Place' remains truer than ever," says Kim Lefko, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Ace Hardware. "We hope you'll join us as we Light Up the Town and spread some holiday cheer for a good cause."
