SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Price Chopper/Market 32 and its trade partner Freihofer's have raised more than $200,000 to benefit three organizations: Muscular Dystrophy Association, Cure Rare Disease, and the Melodies Center at Albany Medical Center Hospital.
"Price Chopper/Market 32 and Freihofer's have partnered in the fight against muscular diseases and childhood cancer for decades," said Pam Cerrone, Price Chopper/Market 32's director of community relations. "We are pleased that, with the help of our customers, we were able to raise such substantial support for these organizations."

It also raised $133,160 from July through February for Melodies Center at Albany Med, for a total of $203,905.
