Business Wire
TravelCenters of America LLC (TravelCenters), operator of the TA
and Petro Stopping Centers travel center brands, will launch its
annual campaign on August 1, in support of the St. Christopher
Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF), a non-profit
organization that helps truck drivers suffering from financial
hardship due to medical problems. The month-long campaign will run
at participating TA and Petro locations through August 31.
During the event, guests and employees at TA and Petro Stopping
Centers will be invited to make donations. As in past years, those
making $1 donations will receive a commemorative wristband and
those making $5 donations will receive an SCF keychain. Donations
may be made at participating TA and Petro restaurants, travel
stores, fuel buildings and truck service facilities. One hundred
percent of all donations will go to SCF.
“It’s always a great feeling helping SCF raise money for truck
drivers in need. We look forward to this campaign each year,” said
Tom O’Brien, President and CEO of TravelCenters. “Seeing how our
customers come together to help their fellow drivers in need is an
amazing example of why we’ve all come to love and respect the truck
driving community. Our team is proud to play a role in making that
happen and telling others about it.”
TravelCenters has been supporting drivers through the SCF since
2010. The TA and Petro annual campaign contribution marks the
largest single donation the Fund receives each year. As of July
2016, the SCF has helped more than 1,550 truck drivers and their
families with monthly bills, including utilities and mortgages.
“Many believe that 7 is a lucky number. We certainly feel lucky
to have TA’s support with 7 years of Band Together! We cannot thank
the donors and TA and Petro employees enough for all they do to
make this campaign so successful. We are truly grateful,” said Dr.
Donna Kennedy, Executive Director of SCF.
Professional drivers who are suffering from financial hardships
due to medical problems can apply to the SCF for assistance at
