Tops Partnership

Tops Friendly Markets has proudly supported The Field Trip fund since 2002. With Tops' help, over 300,000 students have been sent on educational and cultural field trips. All together, 350 public and parochial schools in Erie and Niagara County participate each year in this program, however, without The Field Trip Fund, many students would not get to experience our area’s various excellent institutions.
This partnership also provides a significant amount of revenue to participating not-for-profit educational and cultural venues by delivering admission-paying students to the sites. Through the program’s ability to enrich education and deliver children directly to the Buffalo Niagara and Rochester area educational and cultural attractions, it becomes the gift that gives twice. To date, the Field Trip Fund has provided more than $500,000 in revenue to cultural attractions in the Buffalo-Niagara region alone.
