CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – Stripes Convenience Stores kicks off its sixth annual March of Dimes campaign September 30, during which it is encouraging customers to donate at least $1 for a March of Dimes paper cut-out to hang in-store.

The campaign funds programs that deliver pre- and post-natal care to women and their babies.

"March of Dimes is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and Stripes Stores is proud to be part of this longstanding tradition promoting healthy births," said Steve DeSutter, Stripes Convenience Stores President and CEO. "At Stripes, we're concerned about the health of moms and babies in our communities. That's why we're proud to partner with March of Dimes to help fund critical programs that provide support for families with babies hospitalized in newborn intensive care units and that provide prenatal healthcare and education for pregnant women."

Since 2008, Stripes Stores has raised more than $2.6 million dollars for the March of Dimes. This year, they anticipate passing the $3 million mark by raising $500,000.
