WAWA, Pa. – Wawa, Inc. will host a month-long “Cheers to the Classrooms” celebration from Sept. 1 to 30 that will recognize teachers and school administration who educate, guide and inspire children across the region.

The event will extend across its entire chain of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virgina, Florida and Washington, D.C. stores. 

All day, every day from Sept., 1-30, any size coffee is free for all teachers and school administrators.

Through a partnership with Donor’s Choose, an online resource for teachers to submit funding requests for school supplies/support, Wawa has designated a $25,000 fund to support schools throughout its operating area serving K-12 at-risk youth returning to school. From Sept. 1 to 10, Wawa has scheduled a “Cheers Tour,” with its Wawa Community Care Truck visiting select schools that have been selected to receive funding to formally present checks and brighten days with freshly brewed coffee and donuts.

All 940+ Wawa stores selected a local school of their choice to receive 50 free Sizzli® coupons, two boxes of coffee and 50 free specialty, heart-shaped, apple-filled donuts and fun props during special visits the weeks of Sept. 13 to 24. That’s 47,000 Sizzlis® and 47,000 donated donuts chainwide.

“As teachers and school administration return back to school following one of the most challenging years, Wawa is making a special effort to bring cheer to classrooms across our chain with free coffee, financial support and special visits as our small way of expressing gratitude to those championing for our children,” said Chris Gheysens, president and CEO of Wawa. “It gives us great pride to celebrate our teachers and school administration who represent everyday heroes in our community.”
