During the event, guests and employees at TA and Petro Stopping
Centers will be invited to make contributions. As in past years,
commemorative wristbands and SCF keychains will be made available
for $1 and $5 respectively. Contributions may be made at
participating TA and Petro restaurants, travel stores, fuel
buildings and truck service facilities. One hundred percent of
proceeds go directly to SCF.
“As we kick off our eighth year of the SCF campaign, we couldn’t
be happier to continue supporting drivers in need and knowing that
our customers and employees are helping answer prayers for those
dealing with financial burdens due to sickness or injury,” said Tom
O’Brien, President and CEO of TravelCenters.
TravelCenters has been supporting drivers through the SCF since
2010. The TA and Petro annual campaign marks the largest single
contribution the Fund receives each year. As of July 2017, the SCF
has helped more than 1,900 truck drivers and their families with
monthly bills, including utilities and mortgages.
“We are so excited for another year of Band Together! This
campaign is instrumental in allowing us the honor of offering
assistance to drivers in need. The number of applications we
receive skyrocket during and immediately after the campaign. This
program not only raises money to help drivers, it clearly raises
awareness for those in need. We are so appreciative of TA, the
employees and the drivers that contribute,” 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
