Thru the Lens: Haffner’s gives to the Muscular Dystrophy Association

 The MDA Muscle Team with Energy North Group/Haffner’s at the recent MDA Muscle Team event.

Lawrence, MA Haffner’s was honored to partner and fund-raise with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) for the 15th year. The money raised sends kids to MDA Summer Camp and funds groundbreaking research efforts and best-in-class care for kids and adults living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases. This year, Haffner’s proudly donated a total of $63,200 to the MDA.

“I am incredibly proud of our team,” said Pat O’Connell, executive vice president of Energy North Group, parent company of Haffner’s. “The MDA Shamrocks campaign is something we support each year because of the incredible difference it makes in the lives of kids and adults.”

Haffner’s fundraising efforts spanned various business channels. From March 1-17, each Energy North Group and Haffner’s gas station and convenience store sold MDA Shamrocks. Haffner’s oil and propane customers were able to purchase MDA Shamrocks at the corporate office in Lawrence, MA. And, customers bought special green soap car washes to support this great cause. Each member of the Haffner’s team proudly participated in order to donate $51,700 to the MDA. An additional $11,500 was donated by Haffner’s during the MDA Muscle Team event on March 28, 2019 at The Westin Boston Waterfront.
