Legacy Co-op announced Nov. 8 over $12,000 in donations to local community groups from their Fuel Good Day 2023.
When community members filled up their tank on Sept. 19 at Yorkton Palliser Way, Yorkton West Broadway, Kamsack, Churchbridge or Theodore locations Legacy Co-op donated 10 cents from every litre of fuel sold to the community partners.
“We are proud to give back from our fuel sales to support local community organizations that are working to address the needs in our communities. Fuel Good Day was fun for the whole family with great food, contests, giveaways and special appearances by our recipients,” said Richard Burym, Petroleum Division Manager.
This year the funds raised went towards community organizations in the Parkland area; Yorkton SPCA, Rebel Cat Rescue, Churchbridge Fire Rescue and 103 Margaree Navy League Yorkton.
In coordination with Fuel Good Day each community partner held a barbeque by donation at Legacy Co-op participating locations. C-Stores in Yorkton and Kamsack also sold Helping Hearts contributing additional funds to the donations from fuel sales and bbqs.
Legacy Co-op is proud to announce the following totals:
• Yorkton SPCA received $5048.05 from fuel sales and Helping Hearts and raised $1,488 in bbq donations
