INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, Minn. -- Schools across the country received a financial boost to kick off the school year when they received a donation from the Cenex Fuel Your School promotion sponsored by CHS and its network of Cenex convenience stores.
Through the program, CHS donated a portion of September Cenex gasoline and gift card sales to schools to help fund educational efforts. To launch the program, CHS donated an additional $100 to approximately 500 participating Cenex retailers. A combined total contribution of $150,000 was donated to schools.
Cenex convenience stores are all about being helpful, so we were happy to help out in this important way, says Doug Dorfman, refined fuels product, brand and marketing manager at CHS. Our schools do so much to help our children, our communities and our future. We knew consumers would embrace this program and help make it a success.
More than 600 schools received donations through the back-to-school promotion.
