EG America Raises $800,000 for Disabled American Veterans

Following its annual fundraiser for DAV (Disabled American Veterans), EG America raised $800,000 for the nonprofit that provides a lifetime of support to veterans and their families.

Throughout the month of November, guests visiting EG America’s Certified Oil, Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf N’ Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Sprint Food Stores, Tom Thumb and Turkey Hill stores were encouraged to donate $1, $5 or an amount of their choosing to DAV.

This year’s fundraiser, the company’s sixth consecutive for DAV, surpasses all previous years’ donation amounts. In total, EG America has raised more than $4 million for DAV since the inception of the partnership.

DAV provides professional assistance to veterans and their families by connecting them with the healthcare, disability, employment, education and financial benefits they have earned through military service.

Members of EG America’s leadership team recently presented a check to Coleman Nee, DAV’s National Senior Vice Commander, at the company’s headquarters in Westborough, MA.

“We are proud to partner with DAV and continue our support of the tremendous work the organization does for our nation’s veterans,” said John Carey, EG America President and CEO. “We are thankful for the generosity of our guests and the commitment of our team members for making this fundraiser a success year after year.”
