"We strongly believe in the importance of Tops and Martin's giving back to the communities we serve, particularly to such a worthwhile organization as Golisano Children's Hospital," stated Mike Davidson, regional vice president, Tops Markets. "This is the second year for the 'Our Kids' program and the generosity of our customers never ceases to amaze us."

Sponsored by Tops Markets and Martin's Super Food Stores, "Our Kids" is run in conjunction with Children's Miracle Network. Customers were encouraged to purchase Children's Miracle Network paper balloons at the checkout from July 3-16. Tops also hosted the annual "Our Kids" golf outing for Tops and Martin's associates and vendors. Money raised from both the sale of the balloons and the golf outing was donated to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in Tops and Martin's operating areas. This year, Tops and Martin's will donate a total of $310,000 to Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals across New York, Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio.
