Irving Oil fundraiser supports 28,000 Special Olympics athletes
Irving Oil has announced the arrival of its biggest fundraiser in New England.
On Saturday, July 28, various Irving and Circle K locations will host the “To Serve and Protect Day,” where Special Olympics athletes, coaches and law enforcement officers work alongside Irving and Circle K employees to pump gas, wash windshields, and greet customers at local Irving Service Stations, Travel Plazas, and Circle K locations throughout New England.
Everybody can support their Special Olympics state organization by purchasing special car window clings for $1 at Irving Service Stations, Travel Plazas and Circle K locations in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Clings can be purchased until Sunday, Aug. 5. In addition, Irving Oil will make a direct donation of $100,000.
Irving’s partnership with Special Olympics began 13 years ago in New Hampshire and has benefited the Law Enforcement Torch Run, the largest fundraiser worldwide for the Special Olympics. Since then, the event has expanded across all six New England states and has raised over $2 million.
“Working alongside so many passionate and talented athletes is very rewarding,” Irving Oil General Manager Harry Hadiaris said. “We love the opportunity to support Special Olympics and law enforcement officers across all of New England.”
President of Special Olympics New Hampshire Mary Conroy said, “The funds raised through our partnership have allowed us to sustain current programs, launch new initiatives and increase awareness of Special Olympics. Irving is a great corporate friend that makes a significant impact in what we are able to accomplish.”
