Seven ShopRite stores in Camden and Gloucester counties, proudly owned and operated by Zallie Supermarkets, Inc., asked customers to “round-up” to the nearest dollar at checkout during May to raise money for the National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS).


In total, $125,103.87 was raised by generous customers at the ShopRite of Williamstown, ShopRite of West Berlin, ShopRite of Sicklerville, ShopRite of Glassboro, ShopRite of West Deptford, ShopRite of Laurel Hill in Clementon and ShopRite of Chews Landing in Laurel Springs.

This marks the fourth year the Zallie Family has partnered with the National Brain Tumor Society to raise money to research cures and treatment for brain tumors. The fundraising at store level takes place during May, which is also National Brain Tumor Awareness Month. Zallie Supermarkets Director of Marketing, Giuliana Zallie, says the fundraiser is personal since Zallie’s Manager of Information Systems, Sandy Kramer, lost her son to a brain tumor.

“We’ve decided to partner with NBTS not only to honor Sandy’s son, but to raise awareness in the communities our stores serve about this life changing illness,” says Zallie. “Over the past four years, our customers have generously contributed close to $385,000 to help find a cure. We are grateful to our customers for opening their hearts and wallets to support this cause.”
