ACE Cash Express associates chose to support Boys & Girls Clubs again this past year by raising $12,856 during ACE’s annual fundraising event, the Give A Little Campaign. Since 2013, ACE has raised over $100,824 for Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central New Mexico and Boys & Girls Clubs of Philadelphia.
“ACE Cash Express has been such an important partner for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio,” said Renee Garvens, Chief Development Officer, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio. “With their support, we can provide high quality out-of-school programs for some of San Antonio’s most vulnerable youth. We are incredibly grateful for the Give-A-Little Campaign as we prepare for over 8,000 young people to enter the clubs as school begins again this year.”
The Give A Little Campaign is a national in-store fundraiser that supports charities chosen by ACE employees that help children, support education and promote financial literacy. By supporting Boys & Girls Clubs, ACE can empower youth today to build a better future.
“For the past seven years our local management has selected Boys & Girls Clubs for our annual fundraising campaign,” said Eric Norrington, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs for Populus Financial Group. “The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs resonates with our customers and our employees. The dollars we raise locally stay in the community for the benefit of our friends and neighbors.”
Nationally, the 2019 Give A Little Campaign raised more than $196,104 for the local chapters of charities across the country including AdoptAClassroom.org, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, American Red Cross, Back on My Feet, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This fundraiser is a part of ACE’s charitable-giving program, the ACE Community Fund, which has donated more than $14 million to organizations across the nation since its inception in 2004.
