Westborough Company Raises Over $500K For Nonprofit Supporting Veterans

WESTBOROUGH, MA — A Westborough-based company raised more than half a million dollars for a nonprofit that supports veterans and their loved ones.

Convenience store retailer EG America raised $580,553 for Disabled American Veterans, the company announced on Tuesday. DAV helps provide no-cost services to veterans, their families and caregivers.

EG America's network of over 1,500 convenience stores, including Cumberland Farms, Certified Oil, and Quik Stop, raised funds through an in-store campaign in November. The program invited customers to contribute $1, $5, or any amount at checkout to support DAV.

DAV supports more than 1 million veterans in accessing health care and benefits and in finding meaningful employment opportunities.

“We are proud to support DAV and the critical work they do on behalf of veterans and their families,” said Russ Colaco, CEO of EG America. “This fundraiser is made possible by the generosity of our guests and the dedication of our team members across the country, and we’re grateful to play a role in helping DAV continue its impact year after year.”
