TA is teaming up with Mobil Delvac™ to donate $50,000 to Folds
of Honor, an organization providing educational scholarships for
children and spouses of fallen or disabled American military
service members and first responders. This is the sixth year in a
row that TA and Mobil Delvac have come together to support Folds of
Honor and pay tribute to fallen or disabled American military
service members and first responders. To date, the companies
together have donated a total of $300,000 to the organization.
Additionally, TA is launching a Round Up campaign to support the
Special Operators Transition Foundation (SOTF), an organization
dedicated to assisting Special Operations Forces veterans with the
successful transition from military service into their next career.
From Nov. 1 to November 30, 2022, guests at participating TA, Petro
and TA Express locations will have the opportunity to round up
their purchase to the nearest dollar, with the difference being
donated directly to SOTF.
“We are grateful to have the TravelCenters of America team so
passionate about helping those who have served our country,” said
Tommy Stoner, Chief Executive Officer of SOTF. “Because of the
efforts of TA and Petro team members nationwide, we will be able to
meet our goal of helping over 200 Special Operations veterans make
the transition from their military career to the next chapter of
their life. This support not only affects these very deserving
veterans, but it also deeply impacts their families and the
communities that they join.”
In addition to collaborating with SOTF to recruit and hire
veterans, TA works with RecruitMilitary and the Transition
Assistance Program (TAP) to help connect with veterans looking to
enter corporate careers after serving our country. TA regularly
hosts events at military bases to showcase the job opportunities
available at the company. TA is also a proud supporter of Wreaths
Across America, an organization committed to placing wreaths on the
graves of all veterans in national cemeteries across the
country.
TA will also continue its tradition of inviting all active-duty
military, veterans and reservists to enjoy a complimentary meal on
Veterans Day at company-owned quick-service and full-service
restaurants nationwide.
“As a proud American company, we are honored to support those
who have dedicated their lives for the freedom of others,” said Jon
Pertchik, Chief Executive Officer of TravelCenters of America.
“Thank you to all who have served, including our many team members
and the thousands of veterans who are now professional drivers and
continue to dedicate their lives to keep our country strong.”
