Kinnelon Stop & Shop Customers Contribute $2,508 to American Cancer Society through Purchase of Pink Ribbons

The Kinnelon Stop & Shop, with the generous assistance of its customers, raised $2,508 to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk. Stop & Shop stores across the New York Metro region raised over $267,800. Stop & Shop collected donations from customers who purchased pink ribbons as they checked out during a two week period which ended on Sunday, October 16th.

“Together, Stop & Shop and the American Cancer Society are committed to finishing the fight against breast cancer,” said Cindy Carrasquilla, Community Relations Manager for Stop & Shop. “By joining with the American Cancer Society, Stop & Shop and its customers are supporting those in our community who are battling the disease, remembering those we’ve lost, and investing in the most effective cancer-fighting organization in the nation. Stop & Shop, our customers and our associates are proud to help the American Cancer Society achieve their vision of a world without breast cancer.”

The Pink Ribbon sales will enable the American cancer Society to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research, provide free, comprehensive information and support, and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable.

The Making Strides program is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities to celebrate breast cancer survivors, pay tribute to loved ones lost, and raise funds to end breast cancer.
