Pilot Travel Centers LLC is kicking off its seventh year of raising funds to support the fight against heart disease and stroke, the company announced in a press release. The retailer will support the efforts of the American Heart Association and the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.

This February, guests can visit participating Pilot, Flying J and One9 travel centers to donate to the campaign and celebrate their reasons to lead healthier lives.

Ways to contribute include:

Paper hearts: $1, $3 and $5 paper hearts will be available for purchase at participating travel centers to benefit the American Heart Association's Life is Why campaign in the United States and Heart and Stroke Foundation in Canada with 100% of the proceeds donated to each organization, respectively.

Pin pad roundup or donation: Guests can round up their purchase to the nearest dollar or elect to donate other amounts during checkout to the American Heart Association's Life is Why campaign at participating U.S. travel centers or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in participating Canada locations, with 100% of the proceeds donated to each respective organization.

"Together, we have the power to make a significant difference in the lives of people, both within our local communities and across the globe," said Diana Morgan, director of well-being and benefits at Pilot Travel Centers LLC. "Rounding up your purchase or buying a paper heart enables the American Heart Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada to discover breakthroughs and develop initiatives that will save and improve lives."

As part of the Heart Month campaign, Pilot Travel Centers LLC is offering its 30,000 team members the opportunity to participate in virtual, hands-only CPR training.
