Rapid Robert’s Raises Over $10,000 in “Fueling the Future” Fundraiser for the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools.
FUELING THE FUTURE FUNDRAISER 2024
Springfield, MO – (Wednesday, September 4)
Rapid Robert’s is thrilled to announce the success of its recent “Fueling the Future” fundraiser, which raised over $10,000 to benefit the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools (SPS). The funds will support the Foundation’s mission to enhance educational opportunities for students throughout the district.
The “Fueling the Future” fundraiser was powered by community involvement and strategic partnerships. Throughout the month of August, Rapid Robert’s collaborated with Ozarks Coca-Cola and Hiland Dairy, with a portion of proceeds from customer purchases of select products from these local companies contributing directly to the fundraiser. Additionally, on August 30th, Rapid Robert’s and Conoco joined forces to donate 10 cents per gallon of fuel sold across all Rapid Robert’s Springfield locations.
The community’s enthusiastic participation in these efforts enabled Rapid Robert’s to exceed its fundraising goal, ensuring that the Foundation for SPS can continue to support vital programs, scholarships, and classroom projects in Springfield Public Schools.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our customers, partners, and the entire community,” said Todd Wilson, COO of Rapid Robert’s. “This fundraiser showcases the power of collaboration. Together with Ozarks Coca-Cola, Hiland Dairy, and Conoco, we’ve made a significant impact on the future of education in Springfield. We’re honored to work alongside the Foundation for SPS to help fuel the future of our local students.”
