Market 32 and Price Chopper presented a check for $303,965 to the St. Peter’s Hospital ALS Regional Center Lewis Golub MDA/ALS Clinic in Albany, New York.
The donation, raised at the company’s Lewis Golub Memorial ALS Golf Classic, brings the total raised by the event to more than $1,127,500.
The funds, which will support patients diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), were raised at the Lewis Golub Memorial ALS Golf Classic held Sept. 25 at Van Patten Golf Club in Clifton Park, New York.
“The ALS Center embodies the values that guided Lewis Golub and our company for generations – service, compassion and a commitment to improving lives,” said Blaine Bringhurst, president of Market 32 and Price Chopper.
“Our annual golf outing is more than a fundraiser; it’s a way for our teammates, partners, and community to honor his legacy and strengthen the Center’s vital work. We’re thrilled with the results of this fundraiser and the cumulative support that Market 32 and Price Chopper have helped provide to those living with ALS and their families.”
The St. Peter’s Hospital ALS Regional Center provides a comprehensive, specialized blend of services and resources to patients diagnosed with ALS, known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
