For the third consecutive year, Mirabito Cares, the philanthropic program of Mirabito convenience stores, partnered with The Upstate Foundation to help support Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse, NY.

During the month of June and the beginning of July, Mirabito provided customers with the opportunity to donate to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital by “rounding up” their purchases at participating Mirabito convenience stores. Mirabito Cares contributed $80,000 raised from the campaign.

“Each year, we are blown away by the continued generosity and efforts of the Mirabito Cares team and its customers,” said Danielle Bright, director of retail development for The Upstate Foundation. “The funds raised will make an impact, helping to supplement quality patient care with the amenities that set GCH (Golisano Children’s Hospital) apart as the designated children’s hospital for Central New York patients and families.”

The mission of GCH is to provide safe, effective, innovative and family-centered care to children while promoting the wellness and safety of the families in the communities it serves. Mirabito has agreed to allocate some of these funds towards the Child and Adolescent Mental Health campaign, a pressing critical need, said Bright in the release.

“This campaign is a wonderful example of what teamwork can accomplish,” said Lindsay Meehan, public relations and marketing manager for Mirabito. “Thanks to the generosity of our customers, dedication by our employees and support from The Upstate Foundation team, we are able to make this significant contribution to help children in our community.”

Mirabito is a family-owned and operated company with over 100 convenience stores throughout Central New York and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Through a variety of partnerships, Mirabito Cares strives to make the communities in which it operates better and stronger.
