Hello everyone.
I work at an Ace Hardware store in Delta, CO.
"Since 1991 Ace vendor partners, Ace retailers, Ace Retail Support Centers and the corporate office have donated more than $53 million to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals." (Source: Ace Hardware-Acenet.com)
Our store is hoping to do a lot more than we have in years prior to help with this great cause. There is a CMN Hospital in Aurora, CO. The owners of the store I work for are part of RMAS (Rocky Mountain Ace Stores) and this group of Ace stores all want to step up the drive this year. Ace has an annual "Bucket Sale" to help raise funds for CMN. Basically you donate $5.00 and get a free 5 gallon bucket. And while in the store anything that fits in the bucket is 20% off. A lot of the Ace stores make it a "bottomless" bucket so other items in the store are also 20% off even though they don't fit in a bucket.
Of the $5.00 that you donate 100% of it goes to CMN. The next bucket sale is slated for sometime in summer 2015.
I thought that a way to boost donations this day would be to have a person in Cos-Play at the participating Ace stores on hand to pose for pictures and hand out the buckets. Now, my Space Marine isn't as well known as other costumes. And well, I'm in Delta, CO and cant be at all the stores on the day of the sale......so, I was wondering if any of you would be interested in something like this. Halo is way more known than Warhammer.(At least in my little town) So, anyone interested?
Also, I have volunteered to wear my Warhammer Space Marine suit to the next RMAS meeting in Denver/Aurora. Its the only suit I currently have in a wearable state. My intention was just to give the board members an idea of what I can construct and what it looks like in real life. They loved the pictures. I also said that I can build other suits. Halo, Buzz Lightyear, Iron Man. All of which I want to build for my own collection anyway.
I was informed today that not only do the RMAS members want to see the suit; they want me to tour the hospital as well. In costume.
This will take place March 2nd or 3rd. My boss asked if anyone in the Denver area that has a suit of any type would like to come to this as well. If people are interested I will get you all the specifics on times and what not.
Thank you for your time,
FatherDamien CO
