Piedmont Petroleum Campaign raises $17K for Safe Harbor

CITGO Marketer Piedmont Petroleum Corp. dba Citgo Corner Mart recently completed a fundraising campaign to support Safe Harbor, a domestic violence agency serving Greenville, Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties in South Carolina. “We’re so honored to partner with Safe Harbor. Domestic Violence is not okay and we strongly support the mission of Safe Harbor to focus on this very important issue,” said Kenneth Cosgrove, Vice President of Piedmont Petroleum. “We very much appreciate our vendor partners and most importantly, our customers for participating in the fund raising effort with us. Seeing our ‘regular customers’ get excited about this effort and support it so earnestly says a lot about the character of the folks that shop in our stores.” During the month of November, each of Piedmont Petroleum’s 36 Corner Mart convenience stores sold paper butterflies and collected donations for Safe Harbor. The campaign gained momentum very quickly, thanks to the tremendous efforts of the store management team, and was a huge success. On Tuesday, December 6th, the team at Piedmont Petroleum presented a check for $17,000 to Amanda Manly, Director of Development and Communications at Safe Harbor. “We are so lucky to have the support of this great company,” said Ms. Manly. “The excitement and enthusiasm to help further Safe Harbor’s mission was apparent from the leadership team and every store manager. These funds will be a tremendous help for victims of domestic violence and their children in the Upstate of South Carolina.” In just two years, Piedmont Petroleum and Citgo Corner Mart gave given over $30,000 in support of Safe Harbor’s mission, supporting victims of domestic violence and their children.
