You were asked to be a part of something that can make such a difference for people in our area and you responded in a big way. In October, Mirabito Convenience Stores asked their customers to leave their change behind.

Through the Mirabito Cares Round Up campaign, shoppers across New York and Pennsylvania chose to round up their purchases at checkout, helping raise an impressive $75,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Support That Stays Local

Here is the best part: The money will stay in local communities and support programs like rides to treatment, free stays at Hope Lodge, and access to trained Cancer Information Specialists who are available around the clock.

A Partnership That Matters

Mirabito says that they are proud to continue this effort, and the American Cancer Society shared its deep gratitude, noting how much these donations matter to families facing cancer.

Continuing the Fight

This is the second year that the company and their customers have teamed up for the Round Up campaign, and Mirabito also continues its support through events like the Coaches vs. Cancer Basketball Tournament happening again this December. I will be there for that event and would love to see you as well.

How to Learn More

Once again a big thank you goes out to you for help in making a difference in our community. If you want to learn more about Mirabito’s community work or how to get involved, you can visit their website.
