Throughout the month of May, CountryMark donated 20 cents from every gallon of fuel sold at the fuel station to help fund the wish of La’niya, a 15-year-old Richmond teen battling ovarian cancer. La’niya’s wish is to travel to Disney World with her family.
The Richmond community showed their support for the Fueling Wishes fundraiser by purchasing more than 54,000 gallons of premium quality CountryMark fuels during May. Purchases made at any fuel pump counted towards the fundraiser. Customers also contributed cash donations, which were collected inside the QuickPix convenince store, bringing the final donation total to $11,062.
The fundraiser was hosted in partnership with CountryMark and Herdrich Petroleum Corp., the operator of the QuickPix convenience store at the Richmond CountryMark. All proceeds raised during Fueling Wishes benefitted Indiana Wish, a Hoosier-based non-profit organization dedicated to granting wishes for Indiana children facing life-threatening illnesses.
Indiana Wish is a nonprofit organization that grants wishes to Indiana children diagnosed with life-threatening or terminal illnesses.
Since 2022, Fueling Wishes has become a meaningful way for CountryMark fuel stations and communities to support local children and their families in need across Indiana. The Richmond campaign marked another example of how everyday fuel purchases can add up to make a lasting impact on a local family.
