Funds raised through gas pump donations and in-store contributions will support local families with hospitalized children.
Englefield Oil and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio are proud to announce a unique fundraising campaign that aims to bring comfort and support to families with seriously ill children. From August 25 through November 2, customers at any of the 117 Duchess locations can support RMHC of Central Ohio by purchasing gasoline, with 1 cent per gallon donated to the charity, up to $40,000.
In addition to the gas pump donations, customers can also contribute $1 or $5 at checkout inside participating Duchess locations, and Duchess Shoppes will be selling RMHC-branded Anthony-Thomas Candy Company chocolate bars, with proceeds supporting the charity.
“We are thrilled to partner with Englefield Oil on this exciting promotion,” said Dee Anders, CEO and Executive Director of RMHC of Central Ohio. “Their continued support helps us provide essential services to families in need, and this campaign will make a significant impact on our ability to serve even more families.”
“We are excited to partner with Ronald McDonald House Charities for a new donation campaign in our Duchess Convenience Stores,” said Ashley Englefield DeWitt, vice president of marketing and merchandising for Englefield Oil. “Just like Ronald McDonald House, we serve so many communities, and we’re proud to be able to show our support.”
This campaign will help ensure that families staying at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House can focus on what matters most—their child’s health. With the community’s help, RMHC of Central Ohio can continue to provide a home-away-from-home for families in need during challenging times.
