More than 295 Kwik Fill locations in the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio area will be raising funds to help transform the lives of children and adults with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases during the 40th birthday MDA Shamrocks campaign to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).

From Feb. 1st to March 17, Kwik Fill is adding an iconic paper Shamrock (pinup) to their purchase at check out for just $1, $5 or a larger contribution. Kwik Fill joins thousands of other retail locations throughout the country in this year’s program — the nation’s largest St. Patrick’s Day-themed fundraiser.

The MDA Shamrocks will be displayed on ceilings and walls in stores across New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and every community, visually declaring steadfast support to fund research and care for children and adults living with neuromuscular diseases that severely weaken muscle strength and mobility.

The MDA Shamrocks program benefits the organization’s shared mission to fund groundbreaking research across diseases and provide families with the highest quality care from the best doctors in the country, including best in class multidisciplinary care at the MDA Care Centers. Funds raised also make MDA Summer Camp possible for New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio area children. This summer program provides the opportunity for children to learn vital life skills, make life-long friendships and experience independence, at no cost to their families at MDA Camp.
