SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sinclair Oil (Sinclair), an HF Sinclair (NYSE: DINO) brand, today announced its upcoming partnership with Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization that helps the families of American fallen or disabled service members and first responders gain an education through scholarship funding.
From November 11 through December 31, 2024, drivers can fill up at participating, independent Sinclair-branded stations, and a portion of the sale will be donated by the station and matched by Sinclair Oil — dollar for dollar, up to $500,000 — to help young Americans pursue their educational dreams. The company hopes to raise up to $1 million in 2024 through the help of retail partners and customers.
Sinclair began a partnership with Folds of Honor in 2022, recognizing that communities where veterans of the United States armed forces settle after serving often overlap with the company's footprint of Sinclair-branded service stations. Whether in Nevada or Wyoming or Idaho, funds raised through Fueling Folds of Honor will stay in the community where the donation was made, directly benefiting local families.
In addition to participating through total fuel sales at the pump, Folds of Honor merchandise will be available for purchase at participating stations, with all proceeds benefiting the organization. As always, consumers can also get personally involved by pledging to join Folds of Honor’s Squadron, becoming a monthly donor with the organization.
“As we approach the end of any year, we are reminded of the honor and sacrifice of our country’s service members,” said Fergie Theriault, vice president of branded marketing for HF Sinclair. “This season, our company is unified in our desire to see the children of U.S. heroes have funds in hand to pursue their education and dreams.”
Sinclair Oil works with its distributor partners to strengthen communities and serve customers. In 2022, Sinclair raised $820,000 for Folds of Honor in partnership with its distributor network; in 2023, the organization raised $635,000. In addition to the annual Fueling Folds of Honor campaign, parent company HF Sinclair supports Carry the Load and the National Cemetery Administration in honor of Patriot Day and National Day of Remembrance.
