During a break in the HFCS Ken Baker Classic Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, January 28, Cumberland Farms District Manager Jim Long and Hoosick Falls Store Manager Kristi Hebert presented a check for $2,337 to members of the HFCS Varsity Club. The check was the result of a month long promotion by Cumberland Farms to celebrate the upgrading of the Hoosick Falls store. For a month Cumberland Farms donated 20 cents from every Chill Zone beverage, iced tea and coffee (iced or hot) and several other items to the Varsity Club. Cumberland Farms guaranteed the Club $1,000. The drive far exceeded that goal.
[private]The Varsity Club supports the school’s associated athletic teams and programs. The funds raised will go toward enhancing sporting equipment needs of the students. More than that, it will also give students having a hard time finding the means, an opportunity to attend various athletic camps and programs.
Family owned for over 70 years, Cumberland Farms has a long heritage of giving back to the communities where it operates.
