Spreading Holiday Cheer: Ace Christmas Tree Farm Brings Joy to Patients at Studer Family Children’s Hospital

This holiday season, Studer Family Children’s Hospital was transformed into a magical winter wonderland for the inaugural Ace Christmas Tree Farm, thanks to the generous support of Ace Hardware, a proud Children's Miracle Network Hospitals partner.

Patients and their families were greeted by colorful miniature Christmas trees in vibrant shades of turquoise, purple, pink, lime green, and white, turning an otherwise challenging time into a moment of joy and wonder.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of volunteers from Ace Hardware, over 100 patients had the opportunity to select their own trees and ornaments, adding a personal and cheerful touch to their hospital rooms. For many, this event provided a sense of normalcy and holiday magic during a time when they needed it most.

We also want to express our appreciation to the Ace Hardware stores across Northwest Florida and lower Alabama. Your collective efforts brought smiles to our patients’ faces and created cherished memories that will last well beyond the holiday season. It’s a testament to the power of community and the impact of businesses that invest in the well-being of children and families.

At Studer Family Children’s Hospital, we believe that moments like these can change kids’ health and their futures. The Ace Christmas Tree Farm wasn’t just about decorating rooms—it was about spreading hope, joy, and the holiday spirit to those who need it most.

This event is a shining example of the impact Ace Hardware and other CMN partners have on our hospital. By supporting events like the Tree Farm, they’re not only brightening the holidays but also making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our community. We’re deeply grateful to Ace Hardware for their continued partnership and encourage our community to support the businesses that support our children. We encourage everyone in our community to support the businesses that support our children. Together, we’re changing kids’ health and their futures.
