Forward Corp. is celebrating its 100-year anniversary with a year-long series of events designed to give back to the communities that have supported the company for the past century. As part of the milestone celebration, Forward Corp. is launching a special “Giving Pump” initiative to benefit local schools, along with a series of in-store giveaways and customer appreciation events throughout 2025.
Giving Back to Local Schools and Organizations
At the heart of Forward Corp.’s 100-year celebration is a commitment to giving back to the communities that made it all possible. Beginning in April and running through September, Forward Convenience Stores will host a Giving Pump event at select locations.
During these events, a portion of total monthly fuel sales will be donated to the local school district of where the event takes place. These funds will directly support education, extracurricular programs and essential community services in the area.
“We have always believed in the power of community,” said Abby Moniz, president of Forward Corp. “As we celebrate 100 years, we want to make a meaningful impact on the towns that have been part of our journey. The Giving Pump program allows us to give back in a way that benefits local schools and initiatives that are special to us.”
100-Year Celebration Events
In addition to the Giving Pump initiative, Forward Corp. is celebrating monthly customer appreciation events at select stores featuring:
- Live radio broadcasts and giveaways in partnership with Cumulus Media
- Food and drink tastings
- Large prize giveaways
- Games and more
