Tops in Education Doubles Down in January
During the month of January, Tops Markets LLC will once more offer schools the chance to earn double the rewards as part of the grocer’s Tops in Education (TIE) Program. Shoppers signed up for the program will now be able to earn up to 10% for their school(s) during the entire month.
All January long, TIE shoppers’ designated school(s) will earn double the rewards when they purchase participating products, including those sold under the Tops Brand, Full Circle, TopCare, Tippy Toes, Simply Done, Crav’n, Paws Happy Life, Pure Harmony, Wide Awake, That’s Smart and Best Yet labels with a registered Tops BonusPlus Card. Shoppers should watch for the weekly Tops ad to find savings on these brands.

“As the new year is just getting underway, Tops wants to ensure that our local schools have the tools they need in order to continue to succeed and finish out the school year strong,” noted Kathleen Allen, Tops’ senior manager of community relations. “From funding school fieldtrips and school dances to extra supplies for the classroom and youth sports, Tops has learned that the supplemental funding that TIE has afforded these school districts has truly been a blessing.”
Since the program began in 2012, Tops has donated more than $1.9 million to 1,000-plus participating schools. To take part, shoppers log on to topsmarkets.com/education, where they can quickly and easily register their Tops BonusPlus card for the program. They may choose up to three grade K-12 schools of their choice from a list of schools that have registered to be in the program.
