LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Ralphs Grocery Company is pleased to announce that it is raising funds to support pediatric research, treatment and educational programs at the City of Hope.
Ralphs customers and team members can support the City of Hope's pediatric cancer "Kids 4 Hope" program through the supermarket chain's nonprofit arm, The Ralphs Fund, by donating their spare change in collection canisters located at the checkstands in their neighborhood Ralphs supermarket. The "Kids 4 Hope" fund-raising campaign will run from February 1 through February 27, 2010.
