A golden celebration When the Findysz family opened its first store at Kolb and 22nd Street 50 years ago, it was the first Ace Hardware to open west of the Mississippi. To celebrate their golden anniversary, the family’s five Ace Hardware stores held a drawing to benefit Children’s Miracle Network and TMC for Children.
MORE THAN $6,500 WAS RAISED AND PRESENTED TO THE TMC FOUNDATION EARLIER THIS YEAR. IT’S NOT LIKELY TO BE THE LAST HEARD OF THEM, THOUGH. LAST YEAR, THE LOCAL ACE HARDWARES DOUBLED THEIR GIVING TO CMN AND RAISED MORE THAN $12,000.
Surgeons vs. chefs at pumpkin carving contest benefiting TMC for Children Ghosts and goblins gathered once again to see surgeons from Tucson Orthopaedic Institute take on chefs from local restaurants for the second annual Surgeons vs. Chefs-Pumpkin Carving Contest at the Embassy Suites Tucson-Paloma Village. Proceeds from the frightfully fun event benefited TMC for Children and Children’s Miracle Network. Surgeons from Tucson Orthopaedic Institute put their well-honed skills to the test as they sliced, cut and trimmed pumpkins at Embassy Suites Tucson-Paloma Village. Carving the orange orbs on the culinary side included chefs from Embassy Suites Tucson-Paloma Village, BRIO Tuscan Grille, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse, Hilton El Conquistador, Loews Ventana Canyon and Sholomo & Vito’s.
