Market 32 and Price Chopper and Customers Raise Over $57,000 for Muscular Dystrophy Association
Schenectady, N.Y., August 29, 2025– Thanks to the incredible generosity of customers and teammates, Market 32 and Price Chopper are proud to announce a total donation of $57,313.45 in support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The recent in-store round-up campaign raised $47,313.45, and Market 32 and Price Chopper matched the fundraiser by providing an additional $10,000.00. The donation was revealed during a ceremonial check presentation at the Market 32 in Slingerlands, NY.
The campaign, which ran from July 1 – 31, invited customers to round up their change to the nearest dollar at checkout to help fund MDA’s critical work in accelerating research, enhancing care, and providing life-changing programs for children and adults living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases.
“We’re grateful to our customers and teammates who came together to make this campaign a success,” said Pam Cerrone, Market 32 and Price Chopper director of community relations. “Every dollar raised helps MDA continue its mission to transform lives through science and support.”
The money raised will help fund cutting-edge research leading to new treatments and therapies, nationwide care centers that provide multidisciplinary support, and MDA summer camps that offer life-changing experiences for kids with neuromuscular diseases.
“Market 32 and Price Chopper have been true partners to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, helping us advance research, fund multidisciplinary care through our nationwide MDA Care Center Network, and create life-changing opportunities like MDA Summer Camp for families we serve,” said Ruth Ann Dailey, the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s chief development officer. “In just the past two decades, more than 25 new treatments for neuromuscular conditions have been approved – progress made possible through the generosity of their leadership, employees, and customers. As we celebrate MDA’s 75th anniversary, we are deeply grateful for this enduring partnership and legacy of progress, and we look forward to continuing the momentum for families today and for generations to come.”
Market 32 and Price Chopper have a history of giving back to the communities they serve that dates back to their origins in 1932. This campaign is part of our ongoing effort to support organizations that advance health and wellness.
