2025 Ace All-Star Retailers: The Hagan Family

Since 2012, the Hagan Ace Hardware Family has raised over $1 million for Wolfson Children's Hospital and UF Health Jacksonville. Thanks to their work, the Jacksonville-Brunswick market continues to rank among the top five CMN markets nationwide.

For many years, Bill Hagan has rallied their stores and the Jacksonville Ace Group to stand for something bigger as a market and do more for their community. He was pivotal in making CMN fundraising a core tenant for the JAG group and has set the expectation that it is part of doing business with all the stores in their market.

The Hagan Family takes giving back to the community to heart, supporting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, the Ace Foundation and ten other local organizations. Jacob Hagan has been a key member of the Ace Foundation's Retailer Input Team for many years, providing insights and ideas on strategy and execution for elevating in-store fundraising across the country.

Thanks to our friends at Duracell, $25,000 was donated to the Hagan’s local CMN Hospitals in their name.
