Sheetz

One way Sheetz Employees stay involved with our communities is through our corporate charities, Sheetz For the Kidz™ and Special Olympics. These are programs we support on a large scale, company wide. The Sheetz For the Kidz program is extremely special to us because it was created by our own employees. Today, every Sheetz employee in the company contributes to the success of Sheetz For the Kidz, from fund raising to shopping for and wrapping gifts to hosting parties for all the participating children. Working with the Salvation Army to identify needy families and collect their holiday wish lists, Sheetz For the Kidz made the season brighter for over 9,700 children in each of our operating areas last year! Sheetz is a proud supporter of Special Olympics. Our partnership began in 1991 in Pennsylvania and we've expanded our involvement to include Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia. For the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania Summer Games, Sheetz employees volunteer their time to escort athletes onto the field as part of the parade of athletes during the opening ceremonies. Sheetz volunteers prepare hundreds of delicious lunches that are handed out to athletes along with water, ice and snacks. We also operate a prize wheel in Olympic Village that is a favorite amongst athletes. At the closing ceremonies each year, one athlete is presented with the Sheetz Family Award of Excellence. Winners are chosen based on their exceptional sportsmanship, courage, dedication and positive attitude. At new store openings, we donate money to benefit both the state and local chapters of Special Olympics as part of our grand opening ceremonies. We also collect money for Special Olympics year-round in donation cans on the counters in our stores. We are proud to have received one of our highest honors, being inducted into the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Hall of Fame, in March 2000. Through donation cans and our own contributions, we have raised more than $2.5 million dollars for Special Olympics since 1991.
