Tops Markets launches Children's Miracle Network campaign

Tops Friendly Markets has begun its annual campaign for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH). The campaign is officially underway at all participating Tops Friendly Markets locations and will run through Saturday, July 6.

Customers can support the CMNH campaign by purchasing a $1 Children’s Miracle Network “Miracle Balloon,” or round up their change at any participating Tops, where proceeds from the campaign will benefit the local women and children’s hospitals in its communities.

Tops stated, “Thanks to the generous support of its shoppers and associates over the 20 years Tops has been involved in supporting the campaign they have helped to successfully raise over $4.45 million.”

"We are immensely thankful to all the frontline workers who perform miracles every day in our hospitals," Tops Friendly Markets President Ron Ferri said. "In these challenging times, they need our support more than ever to ensure they have the necessary funds to provide the best care for our most precious assets – our children."

The participating hospitals include:

√ Arnot Ogden Medical Center

√ Bernard & Millie Duker Children's Hospital

√ Geisinger Janet Weis Children's Hospital

√ Golisano Children's Hospital

√ Maria Fareri Children's Hospital

√ Oishei Children's Hospital

√ Saint Vincent Hospital

√ Samaritan Medical Center

√ The University of Vermont Children's Hospital

√ Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital

Tops added, “Donations go to local hospitals to fund critical life-saving treatments and health care services, along with innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, child life services that put kids’ and families’ minds at ease during difficult hospital stays, and financial assistance for families who could not otherwise afford these health services. When we improve the health of all children and allow them the opportunity to reach their full potential, we also improve our communities for years to come.
