QuickChek Supports Veterans With Run for the Warriors

QuickChekAnnual event benefits Hope for Warriors.

QuickChek, is supporting local veterans as it returns as a sponsor of the 9th annual Long Island Run for the Warriors on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016 in Lindenhurst, N.Y.

The annual event benefits Hope for the Warriors, a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty.

The Run For The Warriors race series provides wounded service members encouragement and the opportunity to pursue the sport of running, walking, or cycling to assist in their physical and emotional rehabilitation. Races include a 10K, a 5K and one-mile Walk/Run; all are adaptive equipment friendly. More than 3,000 runners took part last year.

The fresh convenience market chain, which has a store in nearby Lake Grove, will supply bottled water and cookies at the Long Island Run for the Warriors.

QuickChek, which was recently named the 2016 Convenience Store Decisions’ Convenience Store Chain of the Year, actively supports military veterans and their families throughout the year.

The company raised $163,002 in just four weeks to help support post-9/11 service members and their families through an in-store donation program and a charity golf outing during the summer.

The company was also a sponsor of the 6th Precinct Cops Who Care charity bicycling tour to raise funds for local military veterans in April along Suffolk County’s North Shore. More than 300 riders, including the QuickChek ride team consisting of company executives and store personnel, took part in either a 25-mile ride or a 50-mile ride.

“We pride ourselves in being active members of the communities we serve and we’re pleased to continue to honor and support our local service members and their families who give so much of themselves,” said QuickChek CEO Dean Durling, whose company has 147 store locations throughout Long Island, the Hudson Valley and New Jersey.

QuickChek stores provide one-stop shopping, offering a wide variety of grocery and market items including fresh baked goods from an in-store bakery, an expansive craft beer selection, and excellent customer service provided by locally hired team members. All stores offer no-fee ATMs for additional added value to consumers. Modern by industry standards, the company maintains bright clean stores, well-lighted fuel stations and parking lots with wide, easy-to-use entrances and exits that add to a shopper’s convenience.
