Schenectady, N.Y.-based Market 32/Price Chopper and its trade partner, Freihofer’s Baking Co., are raising money to advance treatment and help find a cure for Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition that affects nearly 1 million people in the U.S.
During March and April, a 10-cent donation will be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation with each purchase of specific Freihofer’s products, specially marked with shelf tags in most stores, according to a news release.
“The Parkinson’s Foundation helps people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure,” said Adrienne Casano, northeast regional director for the Parkinson’s Foundation. “The money raised by Market 32/Price Chopper will help the foundation’s mission of propelling us toward a cure. Every six minutes, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, and we’re grateful to Market 32/Price Chopper and Freihofer’s for supporting families in our communities impacted by Parkinson’s.”
“Parkinson’s Disease is the second most common neurogenerative condition after Alzheimer’s, and its cause is largely unknown,” said Pam Cerrone, director of community relations for Market 32/Price Chopper. “By partnering with Freihofer’s, Market 32/Price Chopper hopes our customers will join us in making a meaningful impact and helping fund groundbreaking research and vital resources for those living with the disease.”
