PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Market 32 and Price Chopper and Freihofer's Baking Company announced a $20,210 donation to the Alzheimer's Association as the result of a recent in-store fundraising campaign. 
 
The fundraising total—which was made possible by the generosity of customers—was announced during a check presentation at the Clifton Shoppers World Market 32 in Clifton Park, NY.
 
During May and June, Market 32 and Price Chopper and Freihofer's each donated $.05 to the Alzheimer's Association for every purchase of select Freihofer's products, which were marked with specially designed shelf tags.
 
"Our customers have once again demonstrated generosity and compassion," said Blaine Bringhurst, Market 32 and Price Chopper president. "Thanks to their support, and the support of our valued trade partner Freihofer’s Baking Company, the Alzheimer’s Association can continue its important work in research, education, and advocacy for those impacted by Alzheimer’s and their loved ones. This effort reflects Market 32 and Price Chopper’s long-standing commitment to health and wellness, as well as our dedication to causes that have a meaningful impact on the lives of customers and teammates."
 
More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's today—a number that continues to grow. Funds raised through this campaign will help provide critical resources for individuals and families affected by the disease.
