ALEXANDRIA, Va.—What better way is there to recognize first responders, medical personnel and American Red Cross volunteers than by raising awareness for their 24/7 work on July 24? That’s the reason behind the NACS Foundation’s second annual 24/7 Day.
This year, 18 retailers and Gas Station TV (GSTV) have joined together to raise awareness and donations for the urgent humanitarian needs of the American Red Cross, while spotlighting the convenience store industry’s important role in supporting local heroes and their communities.
“In our inaugural year, we had three partners to help us celebrate those who give back so selflessly in our communities,” said Stephanie Sikorski, executive director at the NACS Foundation. “This year’s 24/7 Day has a 500% increase in participation from 2019, thus extending our industry’s thanks in local neighborhoods across the entire United States.
Here are the 24/7 Day partners for 2020. Many are giving away free beverages and food, offering fuel discounts and gathering donations for the American Red Cross.
