FAMILY VIDEO GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
 
Family Video stores in McHenry, Cary and Woodstock are participating in a campaign called Round It Up to benefit the Lymphoma Research Foundation. The initiative runs through March 26.
Family Video is requesting patrons who visit their store to round up their purchase amounts to the nearest dollar to contribute towards this campaign and wonderful cause.  Family Video Stores have led this initiative for six years and raised almost $6 million.  The McHenry store, located at 1902 N Richmond Road raised over $1,600 in 2016!  Please click on the following link to learn more:  www.familyvideo.com/round-it-up.  Thank you Family Video!!!
