Stop & Shop’s Triple Winner Game Turns 25
The Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. LLC, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Boston Red Sox are teaming up once more for the 25th anniversary of the grocer's Triple Winner Game, which aims to help cure pediatric cancers. Beginning April 10, shoppers can make a $1 contribution to the institute's Jimmy Fund and receive a Triple Winner scratch ticket. The ticket could be an instant winner of a free product or a cash prize up to $10,000, or provide the customer with a product coupon.
Stop & Shop and the Red Sox have raised $56.5 million through the Triple Winner Game since 1991. This year, the Ahold USA chain's goal is to raise $2.5 million for the Jimmy Fund through its in-store “Help Cure Childhood Cancer” effort.
"We are grateful for the support we receive from our customers, associates and friends to help raise the funds needed to save lives and bring hope to families who are battling cancer," noted Don Sussman, president of Stop & Shop divisions. "Together as a community, we can raise even more money to support Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund in their efforts to fund pediatric cancer research and patient care."
Fellow Ahold divisions Giant Food LLC and Stop & Shop New York Metro also offer the Triple Winner Game in their respective market areas.
Quincy, Mass.-based Stop & Shop employs more than 59,000 associates and operates 395 stores throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey.
