May 24, 2002 - Redner's Exceeds 2002 MS Walk Goal and the Total Continues to Grow

Reading, Pa. - We have finished, but we're not done yet!  Redner's Markets has concluded it's 2002 National Multiple Sclerosis program surpassing the goal of raising $112,000 for donation to the National MS Society.  To date we have collected $115,398 and the total continues to grow.  Walk team contributions and in-store promotions are still being calculated and added to the amount of money already collected.

             Each year Redner's continues to use various avenues of collecting donations to benefit the National MS Society such as paper sneakers for a $1donation, collecting coin and cash donations, MS Walk team donations and vendor participation.  In all Warehouse Markets and Quick Shoppes the program concluded on Sunday, May 5 with $60,000 being collected through the sale of the paper sneaker and cash collection.  Team totals and product promotions, though, are what continue to raise the donation total.  This year Redner's MS Walk team participated at four walk sites throughout Eastern Pennsylvania.  Manufacturers are reporting totals for in-store promotions that pledge a monetary amount for each unit of a product sold.  With product promotions wrapping up and money not yet counted from Redner's MS Walk team, we are confident our contribution will be well above our goal.

             Redner's currently operates 32 Warehouse Markets and 11 Quick Shoppes throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and New York.  Redner's Markets Inc. is committed to working with the communities each Warehouse Market and Quick Shoppe is located in.  Redner's continually strives to provide the lowest prices, freshest product and the outstanding service our customers have come to expect over the past 30 years.
