Tri-State Petroleum in the Pink

Challenges employees, customers to raise money for breast cancer prevention
WHEELING, W.Va. -- Tri-State Petroleum Corp. went pink for a day to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The company encouraged employees at its 50-plus locations to wear pink on October 29, 2010, in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Employees collected donations to benefit the American Cancer Society, and Tri-State Petroleum is providing a dollar-for-dollar match up to $2,500.

"Almost everyone has been affected by cancer in some way, whether they have fought the disease, know a survivor, or tragically lost a relative or friend," said Sam Covelli, director [image-nocss] of retail operations for Tri-State Petroleum. "When our employees came to us with the idea of going pink for a day, we could not think of a better cause. We are delighted to support this important endeavor, to raise awareness and to assist in collecting dollars for important research and prevention."

The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Together with millions of supporters, the American Cancer Society works to save lives and create a world with less cancer by helping people get well, helping people stay well, and by finding a cure.
