Landgrebe said he was grateful to the generous Fareway customers. He said 4,591 transactions were rounded up during the five-day fundraiser, with an average donation of 54 cents.
The top Fareway fundraisers, Cashier Dariel McNamara and Kelly Marquez, took home a $50 Fareway gift cards for encouraging 590 customers to round up a total of $380.59. Eight cashiers were awarded with $25 gift cards by meeting the $100 goal at their registers.
