Cypress Ace Hardware Ranks in Top 5 Nationwide for Children’s Miracle Network Donations Benefiting Texas Children’s Hospital
In a moment of pride for both its staff and community, Cypress Ace Hardware has earned a national spotlight, ranking among the Top 5 Ace Hardware stores in the country for Children's Miracle Network (CMN) Round-Up donations—supporting Texas Children’s Hospital, one of the nation’s leading pediatric medical centers.
This recognition comes during Ace Bucket Days (August 1–3, 2025), a beloved nationwide campaign where customers donate $5 to receive a 5-gallon Miracle Bucket and enjoy 20% off items they can fit inside. But more than a retail promotion, Bucket Days is about building something better—supporting the health and future of children in need, one small donation at a time.
“Today we celebrated an amazing milestone — our store is ranked in the Top 5 Ace Hardware locations nationwide for CMN Round-Up donations benefiting Texas Children’s Hospital!” the Cypress Ace Hardware team shared in a Facebook post this week. “Doctor Muscal is one of the doctors responsible for saving our grandson’s life & will always hold a special place in our hearts.”

A Community That Gives Together
The success of the Cypress location reflects a deeply rooted culture of generosity. Customers in the area have repeatedly chosen to “round up” at checkout, channeling their spare change into life-saving change for children across Texas.
Ace Hardware has raised more than $220 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since 1991, mostly through small contributions collected at independently owned stores like the one in Cypress. The local store’s achievement is a testament to how those everyday moments at the register can add up to extraordinary impact.
“Biggest thanks to our incredible customers. Every time you round up at the register, you’re helping make a real difference for kids and families. We couldn’t do it without you!” the team wrote, emphasizing just how vital the community’s participation has been.

Local Faces Making a National Difference
The heart behind the effort isn’t just in the donations—it’s in the people who make them happen. Cypress Ace Hardware gave a special shoutout to their top-performing cashier for CMN donations this year.
“Also — huge congratulations to Lauren for being our number 1 cashier on CMN round-ups for Texas Children’s Hospital!” the store shared. “Your efforts go a long way in helping the TCH community & we greatly appreciate you!”
Texas Children’s Hospital, based in Houston, treats more than 4.8 million patients annually and serves as one of the country’s largest pediatric care providers. The funds raised through CMN help supply the hospital with advanced medical equipment, support services for families, and specialized treatments designed just for kids.

Every Bucket Fills a Need
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals serve 12 million children across the U.S. and Canada every year. According to CMN data, 72 children enter a member hospital every minute. These donations help support everything from breakthrough research to child life services that ease anxiety for young patients during difficult procedures.
As the Cypress community celebrates this milestone, the message remains clear: when neighbors come together—even for something as simple as rounding up change at checkout—they help build a healthier future for children right here at home.
