Team members from ShopRite Supermarkets, Inc. (SRS) present a check for $192,000 to representatives from Autism Speaks – whose mission is to change the future of all who suffer with autism spectrum disorders – on June 5. In support of Autism Awareness Month, ShopRite stores throughout Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Schenectady, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester Counties in New York, and Middlesex, Sussex and Union Counties in New Jersey, participated in a “Light It Up Blue” fundraising campaign, collecting donations at checkout and holding in-store events, including raffles and educational workshops with ShopRite’s in-store dietitians, during a two week period in April, with all proceeds benefitting Autism Speaks. ShopRite – whose top fundraising stores included ShopRite of Clark, ShopRite of Montgomery, ShopRite of Spotswood, ShopRite of Fishkill and ShopRite of Warwick – and Autism Speaks seek to increase awareness of autism spectrum disorders and advocate for the needs of individuals with autism, as well as their families and caregivers.
