Not even bad weather could stop Quick Chek’s dedication. Temporarily postponed by Hurricane Sandy, the Quick Chek sneaker sale campaign came back “Jersey Strong” and raised $105,000 for type 1 diabetes research.
Quick Chek is the Mid Jersey Chapter’s largest donor. The company supports each of the chapters events – Walk to Cure Diabetes, Ride to Cure Diabetes, Crystal Ball, Tee Up to Cure Diabetes – and also holds its own golf tournament fundraiser and a yearly sneaker sale campaign throughout its 130 stores. In-kind donations include sandwiches, bagels and coffee at many of NJ’s Walk to Cure Diabetes sites.
Since 2000, Quick Chek has raised over $1.5 million for Breakthrough T1D and has donated an additional $600k in food items.
