HONORING
MARK SCHULEIN
At Crown Ace Hardware, kids come first
Every year, Children’s Miracle Network
Hospitals recognize a corporate person
of the year, an individual whose tireless
efforts and exceptional attitude have made a
difference for the lives of children served by
their local CMNH.
The Ace Foundation, together with the four
CMNHs that benefit from the funds that
Crown Ace Hardware (a 17-store chain) raises,
nominated owner Mark Schulein for this honor,
and he was chosen as the 2013 Corporate
Person of the Year Runner-Up.
Over the past five years, under Mark’s
leadership, the team at Crown Ace Hardware
has raised nearly $100,000 for local CMNH.
Mark emphasizes that he couldn’t accomplish
anything without his team. He says, “I beat the
drum, but they do all the hard work—they are the
ones who should be acknowledged for the major
contributions they make to CMNH.”
In addition, Mark serves on The Ace
Foundation’s national retailer fundraising
committee, where he has been instrumental in
helping to develop best practices for CMNH
fundraising efforts across the country.
“It’s a joy to support such a remarkable
organization,” Mark says. “As both a business
owner and a father, I feel deeply committed
to supporting the CMNH.”
Mark Schulein demonstrates how much can
be accomplished when someone is dedicated
to being both helpful and leading by example.
The Ace Foundation is proud and honored
to have Mark as an advocate for kids
everywhere, making him a most deserving
recipient of this award.
He is a firm believer
that what you give,
you get back and then
some—and he shares
that with his team.
