Aubuchon Hardware stores “Hammer Away Cancer” for the Jimmy Fund


Customers receive Aubuchon Rewards when they make a donation

WESTMINISTER, MA – Aubuchon Hardware, a family-owned hardware store chain in the northeastern United States is proud to announce a fundraising campaign, Hammer Away Cancer, benefitting the Jimmy Fund, which supports the fight against cancer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Through April 14, Aubuchon Hardware customers can raise funds for patient care and research at Dana-Farber by donating any amount at the register. When customers donate $5 or more, they will receive an Aubuchon Reward good for $5 off their next purchase. The campaign’s goal is to raise more than $50,000 for Dana-Farber.

This year’s patient partner is M. Marcus Moran Jr., former CEO/Treasurer of Aubuchon Hardware. He has been a long-time supporter of Dana-Farber, where he was treated for colon cancer more than 20 years ago. As a patient partner, Moran will encourage employees and customers to participate in Hammer Away Cancer and may appear in marketing materials, including social media, to help promote the fundraising campaign.
