As of May 24, TravelCenters of America (TA) has kicked off its annual Round Up campaign. This fundraising effort, which will run until July 31, is dedicated to supporting the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund.
TA customers can participate by rounding up their purchases to the nearest dollar, with the additional amount going to help professional truck drivers who are unable to work due to illness or injury. The St. Christopher Fund also offers health and wellness guidance, free vaccines, and preventative cancer screenings.
“This organization is an invaluable safety net for professional drivers when they’re experiencing a difficult time in their life,” said Debi Boffa, TravelCenters of America CEO. “We are grateful to our generous guests who recognize the value SCF brings to these incredibly hard-working men and women during their time of need.”
Last year’s campaign raised $150,000, and TA has contributed over $3 million to the St. Christopher Fund through various initiatives over the years.
“We are so grateful for the support TravelCenters of America provides in helping our driver community,” said Donna Kennedy, Executive Director, SCF. “Our safety net is only as strong as our amazing partners and sponsors, and we have the best.”
Throughout June and July, TA’s website will feature stories of drivers who have been able to return to work thanks to the support from the St. Christopher Fund.
