Market 32 and Price Chopper and News10ABC/FOX 23 Campaign for American Red Cross Disaster Relief Raises $87,798
Schenectady, N.Y., December 7, 2025 – Market 32 and Price Chopper and News10ABC/FOX 23 successfully concluded a two-month fundraising campaign to support American Red Cross disaster relief efforts, raising a total $87,798. Of these funds, $77,798 came through customer contributions at check-out at all 129 store locations, and Market 32 and Price Chopper supplemented their customers’ generosity with a $10,000 matching grant.
“Natural disasters can strike at any time, leaving communities in urgent need of help. It’s in those critical moments that we most need to be there for our neighbors,” said Blaine Bringhurst, president of Market 32 and Price Chopper. “We were honored to rally our teammates and customers to support the American Red Cross as it delivers lifesaving assistance to those most affected. This campaign would not have been successful without the committed partnership of News10ABC and FOX 23.”
The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. From hurricanes and floods to home fires, the Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters each year, and 95% of its disaster relief workers are volunteers.
“Every eight minutes, someone turns to the Red Cross for help—and as disasters big and small continue to impact our communities, that need is only increasing,” said Kevin Coffey, Regional CEO, American Red Cross Eastern New York Region. “From small house fires to large natural disasters, we go wherever we’re needed. We are profoundly grateful to Market 32 and Price Chopper, as well as their compassionate customers, for standing with us. Their belief in our mission and continued generosity allow us to bring help and hope to our neighbors when they need it most.”
Ron Romines, Senior Vice President, Regional Manager and Albany General Manager for News10ABC/FOX 23, said, “We believe in community and that means helping others where you can, when you can. We’re proud to partner with local groups that share this mindset to offer assistance to those in need.”
