ACE Month of Impact
Let’s band together this September to make an impact.
Commitment to Social Responsibility
Every September, the entire ACE community – staff, faculty, students and alumni – rallies together for ACE Month of Impact, a month where we work to make a positive impact in our communities, nationwide or even globally. While we embody our core value of social responsibility in every decision we make, we recognize our tremendous potential to make a big difference if we create intentional time to give back. So, ACE Month of Impact is that time!
See how ACE made an impact last year:
Join the ACE Month of Impact Contest
Making an impact looks different for everyone. An impact action could look like donating to a charity or nonprofit. It could look like volunteering your time at a food bank or making a lifestyle change to live more sustainably. This month, we encourage you to think about how you can make an impact and share with us your impact actions.
From Monday, Sept. 1 to Tuesday, Sept. 30, for every impact action you make, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a donation we’ll make on your behalf to a charity or nonprofit of your choice. The more impact actions you complete, the larger the donation you could win.
- 1 impact action – entry to win $100 donation
- 2 impact actions – entry to win $250 donation
- 3 impact actions – entry to win $500 donation
- 4 impact actions – entry to win $1,000 donation
