FLEETPRIDE DONATES $185,000 TO SUPPORT ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL

FleetPride, Inc., the nation’s largest distributor of truck and trailer parts and service provider in the independent heavy duty aftermarket, announced the donation of $185,000 to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® on behalf of the company’s 2022 Giving Tuesday and employee and customer campaign.

FleetPride’s 2022 GivingTuesday effort on November 29 encouraged customers and employees to make a purchase through FleetPride.com, with a percentage of online sales from that day benefiting St. Jude. 

"Giving back to our community is a core tenet at FleetPride, and we are proud to partner once again with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as the focus of our Giving Tuesday Campaign," said Beth Corl, FleetPride senior vice president of human resources. “We want to thank all of our customers and employees who contributed to our campaign, allowing us to make an impactful donation to St. Jude, to support their important, and life-saving work.”

Beth Corl presented the generous donation to Erin Arbogast, senior account manager of strategic partnerships at ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude. The check donation was presented at FleetPride’s Kickoff event that brings together more than 1,000 team members and suppliers from across the country. 

“FleetPride aptly named their Giving Tuesday campaign Loads of Love which was exactly what they gave to St. Jude patients and their families this holiday season,” said Coury Shadyac, senior vice president of territories at ALSAC. “The commitment to raise funds through this campaign showed us the heart of FleetPride’s employees and customers. We are grateful for their dedication to our mission and for helping St. Jude continue with its lifesaving research and unparalleled patient care.”

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Partnerships like this are fueling the $12.9 billion, six-year St. Jude strategic plan, which includes increasing its global investment to impact more of the 400,000 kids with cancer around the world each year. 

Keep St. Jude trucking by donating at stjude.org.
