Ampol Foundation hits $1M retail milestone in Australia
Australian fuel retailer uses its national network of stations to raise money with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA).
Ampol Foundation has raised over $1 million through its fuel retail network for community partners throughout 2022 following a successful fundraising campaign with Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA).
The Australian retail network raised over $400,000 for SLSA throughout November and early December. The campaign involved donations of 10c or $1 donations per item sold from a selected range of products at Ampol stores as well as counter donations.
The money raised for SLSA has ensured continued funding for vital upgrades and replacement of lifesaving equipment, training of volunteer surf lifesavers and public water safety education.
Ampol Executive General Manager, Retail Australia, Kate Thomson thanked customers for helping the Ampol Foundation's commitment to powering better journeys for communities.
"Ampol is committed to giving back to communities across the country, and by leveraging our retail network and generosity of our customers, we are proud to be able to make a significant contribution to our fantastic Ampol Foundation charity partners,” Thomson said.
Earlier this year, the Australian company raised over $370,000 for The Smith Family's Learning Clubs program as part of the 2022 Winter Appeal retail store donation drive.
SLSA CEO Adam Weir said the funds raised would go a long way to support volunteer surf lifesavers' efforts on beaches and within communities this summer and beyond.
