TA/Petro, Sapp Bros. and Coffee Cup Fuel Stop locations will again participate in the 2018 Band Together for St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund. Coffee Cup Fuel Stops and Sapp Bros. will be participating during the month of August. TA/Petro will offer support from August 15th through September 30th. Individuals making $1 donations will receive a wristband and those making $5 donations will receive an SCF keychain or a window cling. Only TA/Petro will have the keychain and window cling for sale.
All donations go directly to SCF and benefit drivers. These donations help truck drivers and their families who have financial difficulty due to one or more medical problems.
During the event, guests and employees at all of the above mentioned fuel stops will be invited to make contributions.
Travel Centers of America has been supporting drivers through the SCF since 2010. It is the 3rd year for Sapp Bros and Coffee Cup Fuel Stops to participate. The annual campaign marks the largest single contribution the SCF receives each year. As of July 2018, the SCF has helped more than 2,250 truck drivers and their families with over $2.25M towards monthly bills, including mortgages and utilities.

Hi my is Brad Borntrager i usually donate every year several times a year my daughter love the bands, thanks for what you do. My question is why isnt Loves, Flying J, and Pilot participating in band together they claim to support driver, right. Just curious not try to start trouble just thought id ask and get you guys take on it. Again thank you for all you do. Even highway heros need heros. ?
Hi and thank you for the comment. We appreciate your support and are glad your daughter likes the bands. Pilot/Flying J is actively involved in our preventative health programs, such as our vaccine and tobacco cessation programs. We are proud to have them on board as a sponsor. We cannot speak for Love’s. We only know that they have chosen not to participate in Band Together. We believe they nationally support Children’s Miracle Network, which is worthy cause. We would love for all the fuel stops to ‘band together’ and help drivers in need.

Thanks Jim for your desire to support SCF. At this time TA/Petro is not set up to be able to have points donated but they are looking into it.
