Fort
Worth, TX – December 2023 / NewsmakerAlert: Yesway,
one of the country’s fastest growing convenience store chains, continually
strives to play a vital role in the communities where each of its stores
is located. Through its efforts over the past three years, Yesway has raised
over $1.5 million during its annual Golf & Clays Classic charitable
fundraising tournaments. Held each year at the Cowboys Golf Club and Elm
Fork Shooting Sports in Dallas, Texas, beneficiaries of the 2023 event
include Operation Homefront, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission
is to help build strong, stable, and secure military families so that they
can thrive in the communities they have worked so hard to protect, as well
as the Christian Outdoor Alliance, Walk In Their Shoes, (an Under Armor
partner), whose aim is to put $5 million worth of shoes on the feet of
disadvantaged youth, and various other organizations including initiatives
to support local playgrounds.
Yesway
also recognizes and actively supports the communities where its stores
are located and in which its team members reside. The funds raised at the
company’s Golf & Clays Classic this year have again made it possible
for Yesway to make meaningful donations to local charities, civic organizations,
military and veterans groups, and first responders including local police,
fire, EMS, and sheriffs’ departments. Many of these organizations were
recognized publicly during check presentation ceremonies at Yesway and
Allsup’s store Grand Opening events throughout 2023.
Top
tier sponsors of Yesway’s 2023 Golf & Clays Classic charitable fundraising
tournament include the following, each of whom donated a minimum of $10,000
this year, with over 90 additional donations completing the full amount
raised at the event:
