Tops Raises Over $400,000 For 26TH Annual JDRF Campaign
WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. – Tops Friendly Markets, a leading full-service grocery retailer in New York, northern Pennsylvania, and Vermont, is pleased to announce that it has raised over $400,000 for the 26th Annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Campaign. Since 1993 Tops has raised over $12 million dollars for the cause with Tops fund-raising efforts putting the company in the top 10 fund-raisers in the country for many years.
This year Tops Annual Spring JDRF Sneaker Campaign began Sunday, April 14 and ran through Saturday, May 4, 2019. Across the chain associates additionally participated in recent walks in Buffalo, Rochester, and in Lake George, NY. They will also be participating in the JDRF walk in Syracuse in September 2019.
Every year the goal of the campaign is to raise money and awareness to help fund research to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. The paper sneaker, which was designed by a Tops associate back in 1993 and is now widely used nationally as well as internally in JDRF fundraising campaigns, will be sold at Tops registers for a $1.00 donation.
“At Tops we believe in assisting our fellow neighbors in need,” said Frank Curci, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Executive Officer for Tops Friendly Markets. “We are committed to supporting JDRF in their mission to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat T1D and its complications.”
