The Stop & Shop supermarket chain has kicked off the 2023 edition of its annual “Help Cure Childhood Cancer” campaign to support pediatric cancer care centers.
From now through April 2, shoppers can donate at checkout by rounding up their total to the nearest dollar or by donating $1, $3, or $5. All funds raised by stores in New York, New Jersey and Fairfield and New Haven will support MSK Kids, which has locations in Westchester County, Long Island and New Jersey. Stop & Shop stores north of New Haven in Connecticut, plus all Massachusetts and Rhode Island stores will raise funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.
“Helping in the fight against pediatric cancer is a key part of how we care for our communities at Stop & Shop, and we take immense pride in supporting the life changing work at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center,” said Stop & Shop President Gordon Reid. “We”™re grateful for everything our customers and associates do to support this cause ”“ and to help these hospital partners get closer to finding a cure.”
Since the campaign”™s inception decades ago, Stop & Shop and its customers have contributed more than $102 million to pediatric cancer research and care.
