TravelCenters of America LLC (TravelCenters), operator of
the TA® and Petro Stopping Centers® travel center brands, announces
their annual campaign donation to the St. Christopher Truckers
Development and Relief Fund (SCF). As a result of customer and
employee donations received during its annual ‘Band Together for
SCF’ campaign, TravelCenters presented a check for $278,095 to
the SCF.
By rallying customers and employees around the single cause of
helping professional drivers who are suffering financial hardship
due to medical problems, TravelCenters has worked to help raise
more than $2 million since 2010 for the fund.
The ‘Band Together for SCF’ campaign, which ran during August at
238 TA and Petro Stopping Centers locations nationwide, invited
customers and employees to make $1 and $5 donations. One hundred
percent of all donations have gone to the SCF.
“We always look forward to our SCF Band Together campaign,
knowing that our yearly contribution goes to helping so many
drivers in need. I want to personally thank each and every customer
and employee that generously contributed this year,” shared Tom
O'Brien, President and CEO of TravelCenters. “We, along with so
many professional drivers and their families, are grateful for the
SCF. Because of what they do, drivers are able to focus on getting
healthy, feeling better and living longer,” he continued.
“Once again, TravelCenters of America, their
employees and their customers have come through for professional
drivers,” said Dr. Donna Kennedy, Executive Director of the
SCF. “We feel blessed to be in a position to receive such generous
donations; they will go a long way in helping drivers in need.
Thanks to this support, more than 1,600 drivers have been
assisted,” she continued.
