TravelCenters of America LLC, (TravelCenters), operator of
TA® and Petro Stopping Centers® branded travel centers,
has partnered with Blue Tiger USA® to benefit professional drivers
through the St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund
(SCF) with donations from sales of specially designed Blue Tiger
Elite headsets. Beginning today, through December 31, 2016, $10
from the sale of each Elite headset, designed in the signature SCF
color blue, sold exclusively at participating TA and Petro Stopping
Centers Travel Stores, will be donated to SCF.
TravelCenters, a long-time supporter of SCF will donate $5 from
the sale of each headset to the charity, and Blue Tiger USA will
contribute an additional $5. Combined donations from the Blue Tiger
Elite Blue headset campaign are expected to be in excess of $40,000
through the end of the year.
“We are excited and pleased to partner with Blue Tiger USA for
this wonderful cause,” said Rodney Bresnahan, Senior Vice President
of Stores at TravelCenters. “We know that every dollar donated goes
toward helping a driver and their family in need and we are always
honored and happy to continue to support an organization where
wishes are granted every day.”
Since 2010, the “Band Together for SCF” annual campaigns and
other fundraisers have generated more than $1.7 million in
donations to help professional drivers and their families with
financial support when drivers are off the road due to medical
issues.
“We are honored to be a part of this fundraising campaign with
TA and Petro. This is a great opportunity for our company to give
back to the trucking community,” said Fieras Saah, President of
Blue Tiger.
Donna Kennedy, Executive Director of SCF, shared, “I am thrilled
about this campaign from TravelCenters and Blue Tiger. It’s amazing
the initiative both companies took to develop the Elite Blue
headset and entire campaign to benefit our organization and
professional drivers. Drivers are going to love purchasing this as
a way to help their fellow drivers.”
The Blue Tiger Blue Elite headset retails for $139.99, but will
be offered at a promotional price of $119.99 today through June 30,
2016. The headset provides drivers with 34 hours of talk time and
