Kansas City, MO – July 14, 2024 – Westlake Ace Hardware has concluded its annual Fan Drive, raising $108,000 across 145 participating stores to support The Salvation Army’s heat relief efforts.
In June, Westlake Ace customers supported the Fan Drive by rounding up their purchases at the register. As a result, Westlake Ace was able to provide 6,000 fans to Salvation Army locations across the U.S.
Since its inception in 2012, the Fan Drive has raised $963,000 and distributed 65,000 fans to individuals in need.
“The generosity of our customers and dedication of our team members have made the Fan Drive a remarkable success,” said Andy Schmitt, vice president and COO of Westlake Ace Hardware. “Together we’re making a tangible difference by providing essential heat relief to those who need it most during the summer months.”
The fans will be delivered to Salvation Army locations in mid-July. For more information, please contact Susan Shank @ sshank@mprg.biz or call/text at 816-536-5746.
