TOWSON, MD – June 18, 2026 – This weekend, Stanley Black & Decker and its iconic CRAFTSMAN^® brand will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Racing for a Miracle, a long-running program dedicated to supporting children and families through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals).

Taking place alongside the inaugural race at Naval Base Coronado on June 21, the 2026 program brings together CRAFTSMAN, Ace Hardware, and Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell for a meaningful weekend in San Diego. This year’s event continues a two-decade tradition of using the platform of racing to raise awareness and funds for local children’s hospitals and the families they serve.

As part of this year’s program, three children from Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego — Zoey, age 7; Maurice, age 11; and Kellan, age 16 — will serve as Bell’s honorary junior crew members. The trio worked with a designer to help inspire Bell’s No. 20 CRAFTSMAN car paint scheme for the June 21 race, incorporating Rady Children’s signature bear logo along with personal touches that reflect what matters most to them.

CRAFTSMAN is also donating $100,000 to the Ace Hardware Foundation to benefit CMN Hospitals, helping provide vital healthcare services for children and their families. Since 2006, Stanley Black & Decker and its brands have contributed more than $1.9 million to the Racing for a Miracle program.
