Presented annually, the Company Campaign Team of the Year Award is presented to volunteers whose extraordinary commitment, energy, enthusiasm, and creativity contributed to the success of their company’s campaign.

“We are proud to recognize the team from Tops Friendly Markets’ Oswego County stores with this award,” said Melanie Trexler, executive director of the United Way of Greater Oswego Count. “These remarkable individuals inspired their co-workers and coordinated a campaign that achieved an unprecedented 132% increase in both the amount of donors and the amount of money raised. In addition to the support of their company campaign, the Pulaski store donated desserts to our Stone Soup Luncheons in Pulaski. This company’s commitment to providing its customers with quality products and its employees with a comfortable work environment is commendable.”
