| TOPS MARKETS LAUNCHES 14TH ANNUAL CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT MARCH OF DIMES & HEALTHIER FUTURES FOR MOMS AN | |
| WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. –Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in New York, northern Pennsylvania, and Vermont, is proud to kick off its 14th Annual March of Dimes Campaign. The campaign will run from September 6–26, 2026, at participating Tops locations listed below. Preterm birth and low birth weight are leading contributors to infant deaths in the United States. March of Dimes is working to improve outcomes for moms and babies through research, advocacy, education and programs that support healthy pregnancies, reduce preventable preterm birth and address health inequities. The organization’s work dates back to its efforts to combat polio and has evolved to focus on the health of every mom and baby. At Tops, we want to make supporting this vital cause easy for our shoppers. You can help by: • Purchasing a March of Dimes icon for $1 at checkout, or • Choosing to round up their change at the register. Every donation makes a difference. Since 2013, Tops has partnered with the March of Dimes to give every baby a fighting chance. This campaign alone has raised nearly $205,000 for a critical cause. “For 14 years, our associates and customers have come together to support the March of Dimes and its important work on behalf of moms and babies,” said Ron Ferri, president of Tops Friendly Markets. “Whether customers choose to purchase an icon or round up their change, every contribution helps advance programs, research and advocacy that can give families a healthier start. We are grateful to everyone who continues to make this campaign such a meaningful part of our commitment to the communities we serve.” To learn more about the March of Dimes, visit www.marchofdimes.org. -continued- Participating stores include: 100 Main Street Corinth, NY 4976 Lakeshore Dr. Bolton Landing, NY 7544 Court St. Elizabeth Town, NY 6308 State Rd.
