Motley Crue singer Vince Neil participate, along with several sports stars, at the 15th annual Sheetz Family Charities "For The Kidz" Golf Classic, set to take place Monday, June 3 at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia.
The golf outing is a major fundraising effort for the Sheetz Family Charities that benefits the company's Christmas program for underprivileged children who are identified with the help of the Salvation Army. Proceeds from last year's golf event were used to bring smiles to the faces of more than 6,900 children.
Sheetz Family Charities is also supported throughout the year by Sheetz in-store donations, proceeds from Sheetz bottled water sales and other efforts. In 2012, Sheetz raised more than $1.1 million for the charity.
Started in 1992, "For The Kidz" was the first charity established by the Altoona, Pennsylvania-based company. That year Sheetz worked with the Altoona area Salvation Army to brighten Christmas for 12 special children. Today, hundreds of Sheetz employees across six states work with their local Salvation Army chapters to identify children who may need some help to have any Christmas at all.
Since 1952, Sheetz has grown from a small dairy/deli in Altoona to one of the fastest growing, family-owned convenience stores in the world, with more than 440 locations across six states — Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina — and more than 15,000 employees.
