Ace Hardware's John Surane honored at City of Hope Spirit of Life Gala.

Ace Hardware's John Surane honored at City of Hope Spirit of Life Gala. Surane was presented with City of Hope's Spirit of Life Award, its highest philanthropic honor, recognizing his professional accomplishments, community leadership and commitment to supporting City of Hope's lifesaving work. September 25, 2026 Leaders from across the hardware and homebuilding industry gathered in Chicago on Sept. 8 to celebrate John Surane, executive vice president and chief growth officer of Ace Hardware Corp., at the Spirit of Life Gala benefiting City of Hope, one of the nation's largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations. The gala raised more than $2.5 million in support of City of Hope's lifesaving cancer research and patient care, marking a major milestone in the industry's 2026 Spirit of Life campaign led by Surane. The campaign is projected to raise more than $11 million by the end of 2026, continuing the hardware and homebuilding industry's more than four-decade commitment to City of Hope. Under Surane's leadership, the campaign centers on the idea of building hope, drawing a connection between the relationships, partnerships and communities built throughout his career and what becomes possible when an industry comes together behind a shared cause. Ajas Khan, M.D., M.B.A, C.P.E, chief of department of medical oncology, City of Hope Cancer Center Chicago recognized Surane and the hardware and homebuilding community for their support. "Cancer doesn't happen to a patient alone - it affects entire families. I know that personally, and it's what has driven me throughout my career to keep asking how we can do better for people facing this disease," said Khan. "At City of Hope, innovation matters, but access matters just as much. Because of philanthropy, we can bring new discoveries and more options to patients sooner. Ultimately, access means being able to tell a patient and their family, 'We have another path forward.' John and the entire Ace team have helped make more of those moments possible." A highlight of the evening was a fireside conversation featuring Surane alongside Billy Bastek, executive vice president of merchandising for The Home Depot, and Bill Boltz, executive vice president of merchandising for Lowe's, moderated by Kim Lefko, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Ace Hardware. With a combined 105 years of experience in the hardware industry, the three reflected on leadership, competition and the relationships that have shaped their careers - including the ability to set competitive interests aside to advance the industry and come together around causes such as City of Hope. Surane was presented with City of Hope's Spirit of Life Award, its highest philanthropic honor, recognizing his professional accomplishments, community leadership and commitment to supporting City of Hope's lifesaving work. "We're all fortunate to have built successful careers in an industry we care deeply about, and with that success comes an opportunity to give back," Surane said. "Tonight is about putting competition aside and asking what role each of us can play in helping people who need us. When this industry comes together around something bigger than ourselves, there's so much we can make possible." The evening concluded with a special performance by Jefferson Starship. Building on the Momentum As Surane's campaign continues through the end of 2026, the hardware and homebuilding industry is also preparing for its next chapter with City of Hope. In 2027, the Spirit of Life Gala will return to Las Vegas in conjunction with Builders' Week, bringing the industry together to launch its next Spirit of Life campaign. Additional details about the 2027 campaign and its honorees will be announced in the coming weeks. For more than 40 years, City of Hope's hardware and homebuilding industry has united leaders from across the business community and raised more than $220 million to advance lifesaving research and patient care.

Business · SEP 21, 2026 PR Newswire Vantage Point is joined by two coordinating palettes, Drift and Mellow, inspired by optimism, restoration and the quiet beauty of everyday moments OAK BROO... Vantage Point is joined by two coordinating palettes, Drift and Mellow, inspired by optimism, restoration and the quiet beauty of everyday moments OAK BROOK, Ill., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Ace Hardware, the world's largest hardware cooperative, today announced Vantage Point (38B-4) as Clark+Kensington's 2027 Color of the Year, available at participating Ace Hardware stores nationwide and online at The Paint Studio. A sophisticated take on blue, Vantage Point adds depth and dimension to the 2027 Clark+Kensington Color Trends collection. Vantage Point is a versatile blue that feels fresh for 2027 yet timeless enough to live with for years to come. "Homeowners are looking for more moments of connection at home, and color can have a powerful impact on how a space makes us feel," said Kim Lefko, Chief Marketing Officer at Ace Hardware. "Vantage Point brings a sense of warmth and character to interiors, offering a versatile blue that feels fresh for 2027 yet timeless enough to live with for years to come." Selected by color trend forecasting partner Colour Hive in collaboration with the Clark+Kensington design team, Vantage Point reflects a growing desire for interiors that feel both uplifting and restorative. Its rich blue hue, softened by subtle undertones, balances familiarity with boldness, creating a distinctive backdrop for any space. As the focal point of the 2027 collection, Vantage Point is complemented by two curated palettes, Drift and Mellow. Together, they capture different moments of the day: the optimism of a new dawn and the soothing stillness of afternoon as it gives way to dusk. * Drift: Inspired by the hopeful feeling of a new day, Drift pairs gentle hues such as Almond Biscotti (N-W21), Cappuccino Foam (16A-1), Catching Rays (19B-2), Of the Wind (36A-2), and Family Reunion (25A-3) to evoke light and create moments of joy. * Mellow: Capturing the soft glow of the horizon, Mellow blends warm neutrals and rich, earthen tones for a relaxed, enveloping feel. In addition to Vantage Point (38B-4), the palette includes Charley's Horse (11A-5), Pure Zen (06A-2), Antique White (CW-W7), and Adobe Hut (N-C3). Clark+Kensington paints are premium paint-and-primer-in-one products, designed to provide exceptional coverage, smooth application, and long-lasting durability. Made in the USA and available exclusively at Ace Hardware, Clark+Kensington delivers quality results for DIYers and professionals alike. "At Ace, we believe creating a beautiful, elevated space shouldn't require a luxury price tag," said Lefko. "Vantage Point captures that balance, offering a trend-forward approach to color, while Clark+Kensington delivers the premium quality, durability and ease of application homeowners expect at an accessible price."
