Maverik recently made a $250,000 donation to Warrior Rising, a national nonprofit “that helps veterans and their families achieve the American dream through entrepreneurship.” As the nation prepares celebrates its 250th anniversary, the gift “honors the entrepreneurial drive that has defined America for two and a half centuries,” Maverik said.
The retailer said the donation reflects a shared belief between the two organizations that ownership, initiative and an entrepreneurial mindset build stronger people and stronger communities.
“Building on its longstanding support of education, affordable housing and local hunger relief, Maverik chose to celebrate America’s 250th with a milestone investment in veteran entrepreneurs—individuals who embody the country’s enduring spirit of initiative, resilience and enterprise,” the retailer said.
“My dad, Jay Call, opened his first Maverik in Willard, Utah in 1960. He built the business on an entrepreneurial spirit and a belief in the power of hard work and personal ownership. Today, as a family-owned company with more than 16,000 team members across more than 830 stores, we’re proud to carry those values forward by empowering our people to think like business owners and serve their customers with pride every day. That’s why partnering with Warrior Rising is such a natural fit—we’re investing in veterans who share that same drive to build something meaningful for themselves, their families and their communities,” said Maverik’s Chief Executive Officer Crystal Maggelet.
