“Since 2006, EDY’S, as a part of the Nestlé Dreyer’s Ice Cream Company, has been dedicated to helping raise money for children’s cancer research with the help of caring people through the partnership with Stop & Shop. We hope to raise even more this year than in 2013 with the community’s help,” said Avantika Chakravorty, for Nestlé Dreyer’s Ice Cream Company. “We urge everyone to come in to their local Stop & Shop store on April 26 and join us in the fight against childhood cancer by donating through Triple Winner.

“We are so grateful to Stop & Shop NY Metro Division and EDY’S for their steadfast partnership and commitment to our work.  With the generous support of their communities, they provide essential funding that each day brings us closer to our mutual goal to cure childhood cancers.  We thank everyone for participating in the Triple Winner Program and in joining with EDY’S to share in our hope and vision,” said Nina J Pickett, Administrator, Department of Pediatrics, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
