EG America announced that it has partnered with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to raise money for life-saving programs, research and services that will help patients and families impacted by cancer.
Throughout July, all EG America-operated convenience stores will offer customers the opportunity to donate $1, $5 or an amount of their choosing towards the American Cancer Society. EG America’s family of 1,500 stores include Cumberland Farms and Certified Oil, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf ‘n Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Sprint, Tom Thumb and Turkey Hill.
Last year, EG America raised more than $645,000 through its in-store fundraiser.
“We are proud to stand with the American Cancer Society again this year to support people living with cancer and their loved ones,” said Russ Colaco, CEO of EG Group. “Cancer touches all of us in some way, and we are committed to doing our part to continue the fight against this disease and support those who need it most. ”
This year’s campaign — Fuel the Hope for Change — is focused on touching more lives through essential advocacy, research and patient support programs. In 2024, the American Cancer Society touched 55 million lives through the 1.800.227.2345 helpline, cancer.org live chat, research grants, vaccination and screening initiatives, and patient lodging, navigation and transportation programs.
“Our partnership with EG America has generated more than $2.3 million in donations for critical programs and services,” said Sarah Wells, executive vice president of the American Cancer Society. “This outcome is a direct reflection of EG America and their loyal customers’ steadfast commitment to ending cancer as we know it and improving life for every patient.”
With 1,500 retail locations and 18,000 team members across the U.S., EG America is one of the fastest-growing convenience store retailers in the country. As the operator of Cumberland Farms and nine other c-store banners, the company is owned by EG Group, a U.K.-based fuel station and convenience store retailer with more than 50,000 team members across the UK & Ireland, Europe, Australia, and the U.S.
