NEW HARTFORD - The Children's Miracle Network is more than $11,000 richer this afternoon, all with the help of "Produce for Kids" and Price Chopper Supermarkets.

Money was raised through the "Produce for Kids" campaign which teams up with supermarkets and the produce industry. Sponsors make a donation from the money they make when you buy certain foods.

The program is in its second year, and this year they raised more money than ever before.

"The success for this year is just getting more information out to the community," said Jody Plonski, Zone Director. "It has really helped us a lot and we have some plans for this next coming year that will give a better impact. So, we're hoping to do better than $11,000 for this coming year."

The program hopes to raise more money this year. They are looking at using more publications, word of mouth, and with the help of Faxton - St. Luke's Healthcare.
