DALLAS, Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ACE Cash Express associates chose to support Boys & Girls Clubs again this past year by raising $12,856 during ACE's annual fundraising event, the Give A Little Campaign.

"ACE Cash Express has been such an important partner for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio," said Renee Garvens, Chief Development Officer, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio.
