Wawa holds special event to celebrate milestone

On Thursday morning, the convenience store chain will be holding celebrations at their Boothwyn location. They will also be selecting one customer who will be named the “Day Brightener” and will be given special recognition for the positivity they spread through their communities.

To commemorate the special day, they will also be releasing the “Day Brightener” Popping Bubbles Passionfruit Lemonade drink. The drink was created to support the Children’s Miracle Network. The coffee chain announced that they will be contributing $25,000 to the organization “to make patient’s time at local hospitals a bit brighter.”

The company will also be giving back to the community with their “Gift cards for care” which will be providing $1 million in gift cards to various charities including Check-Out Hunger, Special Olympics, American Red Cross, Meals on Wheels and more. Each organization will be receiving approximately $100,000.

The convenience store launched The Wawa Foundation, a non-profit organization, in April 2014. Since then, they have donated almost $120 million to support various worthy causes.
