A new nationwide effort tied to American Stroke Month is underway at Pilot Company locations, focusing on both fundraising and education around stroke prevention.
Checkout Round Up Campaign Runs Through Late May
Between April 30 and May 21, purchases at participating Pilot, Flying J, and One9 Travel Center locations can be rounded up at checkout. Those contributions go toward stroke prevention and education programs supported by the American Heart Association.
Stroke Warning Signs Front and Center This Month
The campaign places a strong emphasis on recognizing symptoms early. Pilot and the American Heart Association are highlighting the B.E. F.A.S.T. method, which outlines key warning signs drivers and travelers should be aware of:
B – Balance Loss: Does the person appear unsteady?
E – Eye (vision) Changes: Is vision blurred or temporarily lost?
F – Face Drooping: Does one side of the face droop, or is it numb?
A – Arm Weakness: Is one arm weak or numb?
S – Speech Difficulty: Is speech slurred?
T – Time to call 911: If someone shows any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately.
Education and Screenings Included in the Initiative
Beyond the fundraising effort, Pilot is also providing stroke-related education, resources, and screenings to its team members. The same materials are available to the public through local American Heart Association offices.
Miles of Good Program Continues Health-Focused Efforts
The campaign builds on Pilot’s ongoing involvement in the American Heart Association’s Life is Why initiative through its Miles of Good program. This marks the second year the company has included a dedicated focus on American Stroke Month fundraising.
