7-Eleven Grand Opening and Donation to local school

In October, new member 7-Eleven on College Avenue celebrated their grand opening with a ribbon cutting and by making a donation to Proctor Terrace Elementary School. The donation is part of 7-Eleven's Project A-Game, a community outreach program created to provide meaningful youth development opportunities through education and play so children establish a strong foundation that supports their future success.

Franchisees and Corporate Store Leaders contribute to youth development in their communities by applying for grants to support local schools, youth sports organizations, law enforcement agencies and community organizations. Grants, which are jointly funded by local Franchisees and 7-Eleven, help provide critical funding for academic fitness, safety or hunger-relief programs for youths.

Since its inception, 7-Eleven and its Franchisees have awarded more than 4,800 grants, a community investment of more than $3 million. Grants have been used to underwrite initiatives including math and science projects, tutoring, school supplies and sporting equipment to ensure children have the resources and inspiration they need to stay in school.
