TOPS ANNOUNCES FREE GAS AND GROCERIES WINNER; CAMPAIN BENEFITS GOLISANO CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. – Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in New York, northern Pennsylvania, and Vermont, is pleased to announce that it has drawn the winner of its annual Free Gas & Groceries Campaign. The campaign, which ran from September 26 – October 9, 2021 at all participating Tops locations, helped to raise $17,459 for Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital.

The lucky recipient of Free Gas & Groceries is Alana Hernandez of Rochester, NY. She will be presented her prize at the Tops Friendly Markets located at 1900 Clinton Ave. S., in Rochester, NY on Thursday, November 4 at 11:30 am. Alana won $5,200 in Tops gift cards that can be used toward gas or groceries.

During the campaign Tops shoppers were encouraged to make a difference for families in their own backyard while having a chance to win a year's worth of gas and groceries from Tops Friendly Markets. Customers simply purchased a $1 ticket which supported the dedicated and caring staff at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital who are making miracles happen every day for our most precious asset...our children. Since the campaigns inception, over $430,000 has been raised.

“At Tops it is our belief that by enhancing the quality of life for children through education and excellent health care, we build a strong future together,” said Frank Curci, CEO of Tops Friendly Markets. “Our support of the Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital over the years has a long and rich history and we are proud to support such a wonderful institution that provides the much needed care for those in need in our community.”
