We Are Part of the Community!
As a locally owned business we depend on the community to support us. We feel it is important to return that support through the support of local causes and charities.
We do this in two ways - through events we personally sponsor and through partnerships with groups in our community. We are proud to announce that in 2010 we co-hosted with Brickhouse 40 our second annual Grand County Community Thanksgiving Dinner. On Thanksgiving Day ourselves along with a number of volunteers from the community served up lots of hospitality, community and over 100 dinners. Funds were raised for this event through A Ladies' Night Out at Ace, which featured discounts, tips, tricks, lots of door prizes and lots of giveaways and also from generous donations from other community businesses and members. We invite you to plan on attending this event next year - if even to just stop in and say hello.
Also in 2010 we continued a number of our partnerships with the community. For a fourth year, we partnered with the Granby Public Library Summer Reading program to provide over $500 in gift certificates to children who go above and beyond completing the reading program. We have also supported various group's fundraisers this year including the Granby Parks and Rec Department's Granby Gut Buster, the Granby Chamber of Commerce's Oktoberfest, Habitat for Humanity's Habitat Hobble and many other events.
In addition to donating to these groups, we also try and provide them with opportunities to partner with us to make additional funds for their groups. In the summer we do this through Hot Dog stands out front of our store where we provide all the supplies and they supply the labor. In the winter we do a community bake sale and gift wrapping events. Anything groups make in these events go directly to the group. If your group is interested in participating in any of these events please call the store to sign up! We'd love to have you!
