Festival Foods joins thousands of other retail locations throughout the country in this year’s campaign, the nation’s largest St. Patrick’s Day-themed fundraiser. MDA Shamrocks will be displayed in Festival Foods stores across the state of Wisconsin visually declaring support for the cause.
“For over 41 years, the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Shamrocks campaign has raised critical funds for research and care for people who live with a neuromuscular disease, and we are honored to be a part of their effort for this important mission,” said Carolyn Hietala.
“Thanks to the generosity of Festival Foods employees and customers, we can help MDA fund their research, care, and advocacy efforts for families living with a neuromuscular disease."
