GPM Investments Teams Up with MDA to Run a Holiday Campaign to Raise Funds for People Living with Muscular Dystrophy, ALS and Related Neuromuscular Diseases

Richmond, VA – GPM Investments, LLC, the seventh largest convenience store chain in the country and operator and fuel supplier of approximately 3,000 convenience stores in 33 states, along with over 10,000 store associates are teaming up throughout the month of December for the “Tis the Season for Giving” holiday campaign to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). GPM Investments and its customers have contributed more than $1.4 million since 2012 in support of the MDA's mission of transforming the lives of people living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases through scientific and clinical research and care in local communities nationwide.

"We're honored to work together once again in our communities during the holiday season to help support MDA services, fund research and care for people living with muscle disease in the communities where we operate,” said Arie Kotler, President and CEO of GPM Investments. “For more than 6 years, our stores, associates and customers have made the holidays a season of giving back through this campaign to raise vital funds for individuals and families affected by neuromuscular diseases in our communities.”

From December 1st through the 31st, GPM Investments associates in its 1,350 company-operated locations will sell MDA holiday pinups for $1 and invite guests to round up their purchases to the nearest whole dollar to support MDA families. Proceeds will support MDA's 150+ Care Center network at the nation's top hospitals, as well as research and MDA Summer Camps for children ages 8 to 17 living with muscular dystrophy.

“We are extremely grateful to GPM Investments and their associates, customers and supplier partners for their continued support for MDA that helps us fund groundbreaking research and innovative care for families living with neuromuscular disease,” says Donald S. Wood, PhD, President and CEO of MDA. “It is because of partners like GPM Investments that MDA has been able to pursue our mission of transforming the lives of the people in our community, and we are very appreciative of their partnership.”

In an effort to help those who have been hurt by the economic impact of COVID-19, GPM Investments is teaming up with Feeding America to raise funds to help in the fight against hunger in their local markets. It has been estimated that in just 2020 alone, 54 million people may face hunger due to COVID-19.

"Unemployment continues to be a problem, and many people are faced with the stress of figuring out where their next meal will come from,” said Arie Kotler, CEO. I am proud that our more than 10,000 dedicated store associates and our millions of customers will raise money to help fight hunger in their communities.”

From July 15th to September 8th, GPM Investments associates across all company-operated locations will sell Feeding America pinups for $1. Customers will also have the opportunity to round up their purchase to the nearest whole dollar or just make a donation. GPM is also partnering with its supplier community and raising additional dollars through their generosity. All proceeds will remain in the local communities in which they were raised.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for food assistance has exploded while donations of food have decreased. Food banks across the entire country are working tirelessly to provide meals to children, families and seniors who face hunger. We are thankful to the GPM Investments team for helping our neighbors in need and for providing our network the support to fight hunger in their communities and remain strong and resilient during this challenging time,” said Casey Marsh, Chief Development Officer at Feeding America.
