Circle K donated $313,484 to the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation last week with funds collected from its Memorial Day fuel sales and other events.

The retailer donated 10% of the profits from fuel sales from its Circle K Fuel Day event on May 23, totaling $260,000. The promotion was held at over 5,500 stores nationwide and offered 40 cents off per gallon of fuel between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on May 23.

In April, Circle K partnered with the charity and PepsiCo to support its Rolling Remembrance tour, amplifying the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation and its mission by donating $50,000 to the cause. Now in its ninth year, Rolling Remembrance has raised more than $2 million for the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation, providing more than 320 years of college for their scholars.

“We are proud that our recent Fuel Day supported an amazing and deserving organization like Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation,” said Louise Warner, sr. vice president for global fuels at Circle K. “We have many employees who are veterans, so this cause is near and dear to our company, and one that our teams were proud to rally around as we observed Memorial Day.”

The Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation honors the sacrifices of the fallen military heroes by ensuring the success of their children through college education, offering college scholarships and educational counseling to children who have lost a parent in the line of duty.

The retailer said the total donation amount will provide more than 50 years of college for Children of Fallen Patriots scholars. Circle K presented the donation in San Antonio, a community with deep military roots and more than 150 Circle K stores, on May 31 with the help of San Antonio basketball legend and veteran David “The Admiral” Robinson.
