Circle K “Fueling Our Schools” in Orlando with “Fuel-Up Night"

The Orlando community is invited to support local schools by fueling up at Circle K

What:
The Orlando community is invited to a special “Fuel Up” Night at participating Circle K convenience stores on Thursday, Dec. 7 to kick off Circle K’s “Fueling Our Schools” fundraising campaign.

The campaign invites customers to purchase fuel at a specially marked fuel pump, with Circle K donating one-cent of every gallon of fuel purchased to a participating local school (up to $2,000 per school). The 2017-18 program runs year-round.

Schools will use their donation to address a different area of need, such as technology, resources, teacher incentives and more. The campaign empowers customers to make a meaningful contribution to local schools by simply fueling up at their neighborhood Circle K store.

On special Fuel Up Nights, customers have an opportunity to make an even greater impact. On these dates, 10 cents of each gallon of fuel sold at select Circle K stores will be donated to participating schools. Community events will also be held at select participating stores. Contact your local Circle K for event times.
