FORT COLLINS, Colo. (July 10, 2017) – Ace Hardware of Fort Collins, a locally owned and operated Ace Hardware store in Fort Collins, raised $1,214 for the Larimer Humane Society at its annual Grill Your Ace Off event. The event took place on Sunday, June 25 and gathered local restaurants to participate in a friendly grilling competition.

“Supporting our community is high priority for Ace Hardware of Fort Collins,” said Tim Kenney, President and Co-Owner of Ace Hardware of Fort Collins. “The Larimer Humane Society does incredible work to help animals in northern Colorado, and we are grateful for all who came out to support them.”

Throughout the day, chefs from 5280 Culinary and Ryan’s Sports Grill, as well as from Ace Hardware of Fort Collins, served up their signature grilled creations. Community members were invited to vote on the best creation by donating $1 to that restaurant. All proceeds were returned to Larimer Humane Society, a local nonprofit that promotes and provides the responsible care and treatment of animals. Based on these donations, Ryan’s Sports Grill was named the Grill Your Ace Off winner.
