Williamsville, New York-based Tops Friendly Markets announced that in September, it is offering schools the chance to earn double the rewards as part of its Tops in Education Program. Participants enrolled in the program will be able to earn up to 10 percent for schools.
Through Sept. 30, customers must purchase participating products such as Tops Brand, Full Circle, TopCare, Tippy Toes, Simply Done, That’s Smart and Best Yet with their registered Tops BonusPlus Card to earn for their participating school.
“As the school year is just getting underway, Tops wanted to ensure that our local schools had the tools they needed in order to succeed,” said Kathleen Allen, senior manager of community relations. “From funding school fieldtrips and school dances to extra supplies for the classroom, Tops has learned that the supplemental funding that TIE has afforded these school districts has truly been a blessing.”
Since the program’s inception in 2012, Tops has donated more than $1.5 million to more than 1,000 participating schools. In 2021, the program raised more than $146,000 for local schools.

“This program provides a great value for our customers while helping to provide funding for educational needs in the communities we serve,” Allen said. “As we at Tops strive to help eradicate hunger and improve the quality of life for children, we couldn’t be more proud of this achievement of donating more than $1.5 million dollars back to local K-12 schools over the past ten years, through Tops in Education.”
