This is the thirteenth consecutive year Kroger-Atlanta Division has supported MDA in the this program. The funds raised through the annual campaign go towards research and local support programs including summer camp for kids with Muscular Dystrophy.  

“Kroger remains one of the largest supporters of MDA’s efforts to provide much needed services and potentially life saving research to local families living with Muscular Dystrophy” said Sabrina Hughes, Divisional Director of MDA’s East Central States Division.
