Tops offers double-giveback days in January as part of 12th season of 'Tops In Education'

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

A press release noted, “Your designated school(s) will earn double the rewards when you purchase participating products including TOPS Brand, Full Circle, TopCare, Tippy Toes, Simply Done, That's Smart, and Best Yet with your registered 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 great brands.”

Kathleen Allen, senior manager of community relations for Tops Markets, said, “Tops wants to ensure that our local schools have the tools they need in order to succeed. 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’s inception in 2012, Tops has donated more than $1.7 million to over 1,000 participating schools.
