Alleghany Memorial Hospital Foundation Receives Donation from Blue Ridge Energy Propane and Fuels in Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
AMH Receives Donation from Blue Ridge Energy Propane and Fuels
L to R: Michael Shaffer, Service and Delivery Specialist for Blue Ridge Energy; Charles Mangano, Chair of the AMH Foundation; Bryan Edwards, Blue Ridge Energy Board member and Alleghany Health Board of Trustees member; Amanda Hamm, Radiology Manager of Alleghany Memorial Hospital; and Robin Gambill, Executive Director, Foundation and Marketing.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Blue Ridge Energy Propane and Fuels presented a check for $2,898 to the Alleghany Memorial Hospital Foundation (AMH Foundation).
Giving back to help a cause that’s close to the hearts of customers and employees is what “Fueling the Fight” and its signature pink propane delivery tuck is all about for Blue Ridge Energy Propane and Fuels, the propane subsidiary of Blue Ridge Energy.
The donation represents a penny for every gallon of propane delivered during the past twelve months by the company’s pink “Fueling the Fight” propane delivery trucks. Funds raised through the program are totaled annually in October in commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Donations are then presented to local organizations in communities served by the propane provider that provide beneficial services and support to those fighting breast cancer.
“This is the eleventh year we’ve had our pink truck “Fueling the Fight” program,” said Glenda Christian, Chief Operating Officer of Blue Ridge Energy Propane and Fuels. “It’s very meaningful to so many that we’ve donated nearly $139,000 since 2013 to help a cause that has touched so many of our lives,” she said.
Blue Ridge Energy Propane and Fuels is a subsidiary of Blue Ridge Energy, a member-owned electric cooperative serving some 78,000 members across Caldwell, Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany counties. The subsidiary serves customers across the foothills and mountains of North Carolina in addition to parts of southwest Virginia. Showrooms are located in each of the cooperative’s district offices and in Morganton, NC, featuring indoor and outdoor hearth and home appliances and products. Learn more at www.BlueRidgeEnergy.com.
