WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Following its annual fundraiser for DAV (Disabled American Veterans), EG America raised $800,000 for the nonprofit that provides a lifetime of support to veterans and their families.

Throughout the month of November, guests visiting EG America's Certified Oil, Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, Kwik Shop, Loaf N' Jug, Minit Mart, Quik Stop, Sprint Food Stores, Tom Thumb, and Turkey Hill stores were encouraged to donate $1, $5 or an amount of their choosing to DAV.
