GATE customers raised $80,000 for the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund. Supporting the Jay Fund was special to GATE store manager Brittany Lee. Her daughter, Rylie, battled cancer and their family received support from the Jay Fund during her treatment.  Brittany and Rylie were able to attend the check presentation with Coach Coughlin and staff members from GATE and the Jay Fund.

GATE customers raised $45,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association. Coin collection boxes with a description of the Alzheimer’s Association were placed at the registers of all GATE to collect donations from customers.  “We are so thankful to our generous customers, who have stepped up despite all the challenges of this year, to make this fundraising campaign a success,” said Kathy Brady, executive director of the GATE Foundation. All funds are allocated to the chapter nearest to where they were collected.

 

GATE Petroleum Company is celebrating its 60^th anniversary and marking the occasion with a $60,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Florida from The GATE Foundation.  The GATE Foundation also used the 60^th anniversary donation as an opportunity to raise matching funds from its vendors and business partners. The Foundation typically hosts its annual charity golf tournament in the fall, where supporters raise money for a selected charity. However, COVID-19 restrictions put a halt to the 2020 event.

GATE Customers along with The Gate Foundation donated $80,000 to the American Cancer Society (ACS) to support breast cancer research and awareness.  Funds were raised in GATE stores across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina as part of the company’s pink ribbon paper icon campaign.
