Join us in the fight against pediatric cancer and grab a sweet treat!
Quincy, MA, 2014-4-24 — /EPR Retail News/ — Everyone’s a winner when they join the fight with Stop & Shop for a special fundraising day on Saturday, April 26, 2014, to benefit pediatric cancer research and treatment.
Now in its 24th year, Stop & Shop’s Triple Winner® program helps support pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Customers who give a $1 contribution* at Stop & Shop registers receive a Triple Winner scratch ticket and could be an instant winner of a free product or cash prizes up to $10,000 or could receive a product coupon. The program runs now through July 10.
Customers who make a $1 contribution* on April 26th will receive a free single-serve ice cream cup and a Triple Winner scratch ticket. Several popular brands of single-serve ice cream cups, including those by Häagen-Dazs® ice cream and EDY’S® SLOW CHURNED® light ice cream, are participating in Stop & Shop’s Triple Winner® program.
Stop & Shop will donate 100% of the money raised during the Triple Winner program to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In addition, EDY’S will donate $.05 for every single-serve cup, shake or smoothie sold between April 19 and June 7, 2014, with no limitation on the amount donated during this timeframe.
“Stop & Shop is honored to be able to make this yearly contribution to help support cancer research at The Stop & Shop Family Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinic at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute,” said Joe Kelley, president of Stop & Shop New England. “Year after year, the Triple Winner Game makes us proud to have customers and vendor partners so eager to help make this campaign a success.”
“Since 2006, EDY’S, as a part of the Nestlé Dreyer’s Ice Cream Company, has been dedicated to helping raise money for children’s cancer research with the help of caring people through the partnership with Stop & Shop. We raised more than $43,000 in the New England Division last year, and we hope to raise even more this year with the community’s help,” said Avantika Chakravorty for Nestlé Dreyer’s Ice Cream Company. “We urge everyone to come in to their local Stop & Shop store on April 26 and join us in the fight against childhood cancer by donating through Triple Winner.”
“Dana-Farber is fortunate to have such strong partnerships with Stop & Shop and EDY’S Ice Cream,” said David Giagrando, director, Corporate Partnerships, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. “The Triple Winner Program and EDY’S in-store promotion raise important funds to support cancer research at The Stop & Shop Family Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinic at Dana- Farber.”
