Petro's St. Jude Halloween Promotion is a Big Success

November 27, 2007 -- (El Paso, TX) – National travel center chain, Petro Stopping Centers raised over $106,000 for the children of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in October through the 16th annual Halloween Promotion. During the promotion, employees at participating Petro Stopping Centers and Iron Skillet Restaurants asked patrons to make a $1 donation to St. Jude to support its fight against catastrophic childhood diseases. In return, the donors had the opportunity to write their names on pumpkin-themed pinups, which were displayed through the month of October.

“Petro is very proud to be partners with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in helping to save children’s lives. Our participation in the annual pumpkin promotion allows us the opportunity to do something good for the children in our community, as well as children in communities all over the world,” said David McClure, Marketing Director for Petro Stopping Centers.
