Tops Friendly Markets is holding its fifth annual contest celebrating Black History Month. This initiative offers students in grades three through eight the opportunity to honor and celebrate African American individuals who inspire them – whether it’s a family member, pastor, coach, teacher, or friend.
Students are encouraged to write a small paragraph or more describing why their chosen individual is someone they admire. Submissions are due by February 15, 2025. Prizes include a $100 donation to the winner’s school and a $50 Tops gift card for the student, perfect for treating their family or nominee to a special dinner and dessert.
“Tops has been dedicated to educating the community about Black History Month for the past three decades. The past five years of this contest have shown us just how inspiring our youth can be through their heartfelt essays,” said Kathy Sautter, Director of Corporate Communications and Public Relations for Tops. “We encourage educators to use this contest as a way to engage students in meaningful conversations about history and those who inspire them.”
