It takes an army to battle cancer. Kinsley's ShopRite enlisted in that army when it joined the Grocers Fight Cancer Day on Tuesday.

Kinsley's and the American Cancer Society of Monroe County joined forces to increase awareness of cancer prevention and to raise money for cancer research, education, advocacy and patient services. It is the 20th year it has done so.The Kinsley Family is donating 5 percent of the day's sales to the Monroe County Unit of the American Cancer Society in support of their mission to eliminate cancer. Kinsley's held a one-day sale, with many discounted items and bargains.There was face painting, balloon animals and cookie decorating and pony rides for the kids. There were raffles, wine and beer tasting, food sampling and live entertainment.Volunteers from area organizations and businesses bagged groceries to support the fight against cancer.Terry Price, an account representative for WSBG and a member of the advisory council of the Monroe County Unit of the American Cancer Society, bagged groceries because she has been a longtime supporter of the Kinsley family and she believes in giving back to the community.Customer Patti Frable of Effort took advantage of the deals and also came out to support the event because she has had family members who battled cancer.Kinsley's ShopRite is located at 107 Kinsley Drive in Brodheadsville.
