PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Disabled American Veterans (DAV) will be receiving more than $76,000 from a Price Chopper/Market 32 fundraising campaign to provide lifetime support to veterans and their families. 
 
Price Chopper/Market 32 kicked off the fundraiser with a $10,000 donation and, combined with customer donations, raised $76,471 to go directly to DAV.
 
"As an organization, Disabled American Veterans goes above and beyond to provide veterans and their families lifetime support, free rides to medical appointments and connections to meaningful employment opportunities," said Mona Golub, Price Chopper/Market 32's vice president of public relations and consumer services. "Price Chopper/Market 32 is proud to support their efforts on behalf of those who served and fought for our country."
 
DAV's goal is to empower veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. This is accomplished by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them, fighting for the interests of America's injured heroes on Capitol Hill, and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.
