ATLANTA – March 30, 2011 — Today RaceTrac Petroleum Inc. announced it raised $35,236 during the course of its March 2011 “Coffee for a Cause” campaign to benefit Camp Sunshine, a local organization committed to enriching the lives of children with cancer and their families through recreational, educational and support programs.

This year’s campaign ran from March 16 to March 18 at all Georgia RaceTrac locations. Funds raised afford more than 40 children battling cancer the opportunity to attend Camp Sunshine this summer.

“The success of this year’s campaign proves our customers’ commitment to helping their communities,” said RaceTrac CEO Carl Bolch. “Camp Sunshine is a cause we believe in wholeheartedly at RaceTrac. I’m proud to know our guests feel the same way.”
