Superior Tool's CEO Rides in the 2nd Annual Motorcycle Miracle Mission

On Friday August 14, nine motorcycle riders traveled from Oak Brook, Illinois to La Crosse, Wisconsin on a mission to help sick and injured kids at the Gundersen Lutheran Children’s Hospital. Ace’s miracle riders consisted of corporate team members, vendor partners and retailers. They raised over $35,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network. The Children’s Miracle Network aims to generate funds and awareness programs for local community hospitals.

Superior Tool's Jeff White on the road for the Ace 2nd Annual Motorcycle Miracle Mission During the three day journey, the riders were able to visit select Ace stores. Because of their great efforts, they were greeted with great enthusiasm and encouragement by fellow Ace family members.

Presenting the check for the Ace 2nd Annual Motorcycle Miracle Mission Once arriving at the hospital the riders were welcomed by joyful patients and families when a check for $5,000 was presented to the hospital’s foundation. The miracle riders had the opportunity to talk with supporters and hear their stories. Joe Furlane, an Ace buyer, was even featured on the local news.

The Ace Foundation thanks the following riders who raised an incredible amount of money during their fundraising efforts: Frank Allemana, Phil Barney, John Brunson, Ron Burke, Joe Furlane, Ira Kozak, Gary Lesser, Dale Schmidt and Superior Tool's Jeff White.

We kicked off our United Way Annual Campaign this month and enjoyed another great lunch with our neighbors, suppliers, SAW clients/families, family and friends!

We enjoyed a lunch of fried chicken, peppers and sausage, meatballs and salads as well as many tasty desserts.

Thank you to all who attended and made this a great day. We raised over $2,100 dollars for United Way.

SAW is Solutions at Work, the work-oriented initiative partnered with the Cuyahoga County Board of MR/DD.

Thanks to all who made this day happen:

All those who donated door prizes and items for the raffles
The staff at United Way
The Superior Tool Company employees who cleaned, set up and tore down
Those who baked and/or donated deserts

Special thanks to Gina Special thanks go to our own Gina Sopko who again ran the event so well, and year after year has managed the planning and coordination between Superior Tool, United Way and SAW. Thank you, Gina!

And, we are working on a lot of other products for the professional, the DIYer and the homeowner. So keep watching.
