The GATE Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Jacksonville-based GATE Petroleum Company, and GATE customers raised $45,000 for Ronald McDonald House (RMH) Charities. Funds were raised January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 as part of GATE’s coin box campaign and charity round-up option. Coin collection boxes were placed at the registers of all GATE stores across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina to collect donations. Customers could also choose to round-up their transaction totals to the nearest dollar, with the difference going towards the RMH Charities donation. Funds will be distributed to the RMH Charity closest to where they were raised.
