Donations are then provided to local organizations in communities served by the propane provider that provide beneficial services and support to those fighting breast cancer.
“This is the tenth year we’ve had our pink truck “Fueling the Fight” program,” said Glenda Christian, Chief Operating Officer of Blue Ridge Energy Propane and Fuels. “I’m very proud to say we’ve donated over $123,000 since that time to help this worthy cause that has touched so many of our lives,” she said.
