The annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation charitable campaign at Tops Friendly Markets is underway.

Customers can donate to the foundation by purchasing paper sneakers for $1 while checking out at any Tops location.

In addition to the paper sneakers, Tops stores will host hot dog sales, golf outings, walks and raffles to raise funds for the foundation.

The campaign runs through Sunday, May 12.

According to the Monroe County DOT, a section of Penfield Road will be closed temporarily while crews rehabilitate a nearby bridge.

The superintendent of highways will close Penfield Road between two intersections, including one at Old Penfield Road across from Panorama Plaza.

The street will be closed starting at 9 a.m. on Monday, April 30 and is expected to be shut down for approximately six months until the bridge work is completed.
