WINNER OF TOPS THREE-MINUTE SHOPPING SPREE FOR BREAKTHROUGH T1D’S LIVE AUCTION TO PAY IT FORWARD
What: Lawrence Chin of Syracuse, NY will race against the clock to take part in a three-minute shopping spree at Tops Friendly Markets.

Lawrence won the prize during a live auction during a recent Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) gala held in May at the Mariott Syracuse Downtown Hotel. The winning bid of $1,800 was just the cherry on top of the funds raised for this important cause. This year Tops raised over $333,000 and over the course of the company’s involvement, over $15 million dollars with Tops fund-raising efforts elevating the company to national partner status as of this year.

What’s more - Lawrence and his wife, Rachel, who will join him in the spree, are donating the bounty to the Upstate Food Pantry at the hospital to support the Upstate student food insecurity initiative.

When: Thursday, June 19, 2025 10:00am

Where: Tops Friendly Markets 620 Nottingham Rd. Syracuse, NY 13224
