WADENA — Super One Foods and Liquor locations across the region teamed up with customers to raise $44,228 for research and care to transform and empower the lives of children and adults living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases.
The campaign is hosted with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Shamrocks . Super One has participated over the past several years, according to an MDA news release.
“We’re incredibly thankful for everyone who participates, and we’re honored to do our part in support of MDA’s mission to help MDA families live longer and grow stronger,” said Patrick Miner, Miner’s Inc. Vice President.
From Feb. 27 to March 19, Super One locations participated in the St. Patrick’s Day fundraising campaign in which customers and associates purchased an MDA Shamrock at checkout for a $1, $5 or higher. Each Shamrock symbolizes the movement to empower MDA families in the community, according to the release.
The Shamrocks campaign benefits MDA’s work to fund groundbreaking research across neuromuscular diseases and provides families with the high quality care, including multidisciplinary care at numerous MDA Care Centers. In Minnesota, the care centers are at Essentia Health, Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, Gillette Children’s, Maple Grove Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and the University of Minnesota. MDA also has care centers in Wisconsin and Michigan.
