Fill up at a Circle K and support a local school

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — You can fill up your gas tank today while also helping a local school. It’s a part of the Fueling Our Schools campaign at Circle K convenience stores.

At participating locations, 10 cents of every gallon of fuel purchased Thursday will be donated to a local school.

Schools will use their donations toward different areas of need, such as technology, resources, teacher incentives and more.

Year-round, 1 cent per gallon of fuel purchased on a specially marked pump is donated to schools (up to $2,000 per school).

To date, Fueling Our Schools campaign has raised nearly $900,000 for local schools.

More than 350 Circle K stores across North America participated in the fundraising campaign in 2017. In Wilmington, participating locations include:
