Tops Friendly Markets press release

Tops Friendly Markets announced that, during the month of October, it is once again offering schools the chance to earn double the rewards as part of its “Tops in Education” program (“TIE”). Participants enrolled in the program will now be able to earn up to 10% for their school(s) during the entire month of October.

Designated school(s) will earn double the rewards when they and their supporters purchase participating products including TOPS BRAND and Full Circle, Crav’n, Paws Happy Life, Simply Done, and more when they use their Tops BonusPlus Card.

It’s that easy to earn up to 10% back to your selected school(s)!

What’s more, these items are ideal for the busy, working family. Not only are they a great value, but also items that will help you pack your lunch totes with healthy and nutritious options as the kids head out the door. Be sure to look at your weekly Tops ad for great savings on these high-quality brands.

“As a new school year begins, Tops is committed to making sure our local schools have the resources they need to thrive,” said Courtney Mailhot, manager of community relations for Tops Markets. “Whether it’s funding for field trips and school dances, providing extra classroom supplies, or supporting youth sports, we’ve seen firsthand how the supplemental funding from ‘TIE’ has been a true blessing for our school districts.”

Since the program’s inception in 2012, Tops has donated more than $2.2 million to over 1,000 participating schools.

Taking part in “TIE” is easy: Simply logon to www.topsmarkets.com/education, where you can quickly and easily register your Tops BonusPlus card for the program. Here, you may select up to three schools of your choice in grades K-12 from a list of schools that have registered to be the benefactor of your Tops shopping.
