Parker’s, a nationally recognized convenience store leader headquartered in Savannah, Ga., presented a check for $5,000 to Bryan County Public Schools on December 1, 2015, as part of the company’s Fueling the Community program.
 
“We’re delighted to support Bryan County teachers and students through our Fueling the Community program,” said Jeff Bush, Director of Fuel Management for Parker’s. “We believe in the power of education and want to make a positive impact right here in Bryan County.”
 
Parker’s donates a portion of the proceeds from every gallon of gas purchased at all 40 of its convenience stores on the first Wednesday of each month to community schools through the Fueling the Community program. The company’s charitable initiative officially launched in the fall of 2011 and donates more than $100,000 each year to public and private schools in every community where Parker’s stores are located.
 
Customers can sign up for a PumpPal card online at www.PumpPalClub.com to select a school of their choice for their one cent per gallon donation. Existing PumpPal members can access their account online and select a specific school to receive donations.
 
Parker’s has been ranked on Inc.’s elite list of the top 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for four consecutive years and has opened eight new stores over the past year. Company president and CEO Greg Parker has been honored by Convenience Store News as the Tech Executive of the Year and by the Savannah Chamber of Commerce as the Entrepreneur of the Year.
 
Parker’s currently operates 40 convenience stores across the region and employs nearly 500 individuals throughout Georgia and South Carolina. The company, which completes more than 80,000 transactions daily, will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2016.
