EG America raised more than $645,000 for the American Cancer Society during its nationwide in-store fundraiser in July.

Throughout the month, guests at all stores owned by EG America, including Cumberland Farms, Fastrac, and Kwik Shop stores were able to donate $1, $5 or an amount of their choosing to the American Cancer Society. EG America then matched the amounts raised by the top stores to increase the donation total.

"Thanks to the compassion and generosity of our guests, and the dedication of our store team members, we're doing our part to help individuals and families impacted by this disease," said John Carey, EG America's President and CEO.

The American Cancer Society improves the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
