Champ4charity (2)What if every purchase you make this holiday season could earn dollars for Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth research?

This holiday season, The Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation is participating in the Americana Manhasset Champions for Charity®. Come shop at the famous “Miracle Mile” that Billy Joel sings in his song!

From Thursday, December 3, through Sunday, December 6, over 70 participating Americana Manhasset and Wheatley Plaza stores will donate 25% of designated full‐price, pre‐tax purchases to the participating organization(s) of the customer’s choice.

Purchases are not automatically eligible; you must register for a complimentary CHAMPION CARD, designate the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation as your charity of choice, and present your CHAMPION CARD when making purchases during the event.

To register for your card, visit championsforcharity.org or call 800.818.6767.

**Not nearby? You can still participate by shopping via telephone and have your gifts mailed.**
