TOPS MARKETS LAUNCHES 12TH ANNUAL MARCH OF DIMES CAMPAIGN | |
WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. – Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in New York, northern Pennsylvania, and Vermont, is pleased to begin its annual campaign for March of Dimes. The campaign begins September 1 at the participating Tops Friendly Market locations noted below and will run through September 21, 2024. According to the March of Dimes, “The US is facing an urgent maternal and infant health crisis—but together with our partners and supporters, we can end preventable maternal health risks and death, end preventable preterm birth, and close the health equity gap for every family.” At Tops we want to make supporting this vital cause, easy. When at the register customers will be asked to make a difference for babies and their families by supporting the March of Dimes campaign by purchasing a March of Dimes icon for $1 or rounding up their change at any of the participating Tops registers to help more moms have healthy pregnancies and more babies to begin healthy lives. Every contribution makes a difference! Since 2013 Tops has been working with the March of Dimes to give every baby a fighting chance and last year alone Tops donated over $17,000 to this important cause. “Tops Markets strongly believes in giving back to the community and improving the quality of life of children and families. With the help and compassion of our associates and customers, we know we can make a difference supporting the March of Dimes Campaign,” said Ron Ferri, president for Tops Friendly Markets. Prematurity is the #1 killer of babies in the United States. March of Dimes is working to change that and help more moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. From polio to prematurity, the March of Dimes has focused on researching the problems that threaten our children and finding ways to prevent them.
