TravelCenters of America, nationwide operator and franchisor of the TA, Petro Stopping Centers and TA Express travel center network, has teamed up with Mobil Delvac™ heavy-duty diesel engine oil to donate $50,000 to Folds of Honor, an organization providing educational scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members.
This is the fifth year in a row that TA and Mobil Delvac heavy-duty diesel engine oil have come together to support Folds of Honor and pay tribute to fallen service members. To date, the companies together have donated a total of $250,000 to the organization.
“As a nearly 50-year-old American company, we are proud to support U.S. veterans and active-duty military,” said Jon Pertchik, Chief Executive Officer of TA. “On this Veterans Day, we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and are pleased this donation will provide educational support for the families of those who have fallen.”
