Tops Friendly Markets has raised more than $407,000 in its annual campaign for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Customers supported the Tops Children’s Miracle Network campaign by buying a $1 CMN Miracle Balloon or rounding up their change at participating stores. Proceeds from the campaign benefited local women and children’s hospitals. With the support of shoppers and employees over the 20 years Tops has been involved in supporting the campaign, it has helped to raise more than $4.45 million.
“We are immensely thankful to everyone who generously donated to support our hospitals through our annual campaign,” stated Ron Ferri, president of Tops Friendly Markets. “In these challenging times, your contributions are more crucial than ever to ensure our frontline workers have the necessary resources to provide the best care for our most precious assets – our children.”
