Cumberland Farms Fundraiser Provides Financial Boost to Nichols Elementary School

Cumberland Farms has named the Nichols Elementary School as the beneficiary of a month-long fundraiser designed to support a variety of student programs offered at the school.

For four weeks beginning on Thursday, December 20th, Cumberland Farms will donate 20 cents from every Chill Zone beverage, brewed tea and coffee (iced or hot) purchased at its newly remodeled store at 1290 West Broad Street in Stratford, CT directly to the elementary school. Cumberland Farms aims to raise at least $1,000 for the students.  The fundraiser has now reached its halfway point and, with the community's help, the school could potentially receive double its goal.

”Our calendar is always filled with a wide array of both educational and entertaining activities for our students,” said PTSA Co-President Cyndi Hill.  “We want to continue to expand our students’ horizons through these events, but need the funding to do so.  This donation from Cumberland Farms couldn’t have come at a better time.”

“Cumberland Farms is pleased to have this opportunity to give back to youth in the Stratford community,” said Ari Haseotes, President of the Cumberland Farms Retail Division.  “We are proud to be an active member of the town and to help the Nichols Elementary School with their great work to provide educational opportunities for their students.”

Over the past year, Cumberland Farms has donated more than $100,000 to support local organizations across the Northeast. 

Stop in the 1290 West Broad Street store to pick up a beverage and be a part of this fundraising effort for the Nichols Elementary School!
