Local BP Branded Marketer Helps Make Impact on Area Organizations
FLORIDA (FEBRUARY 21, 2012) – Two local organizations received a big boost recently as BP gas station owners displayed their commitment to supporting such establishments. As part of the BP Fueling Communities Program, local BP Branded Marketer Johnson & Johnson Inc. was able to contribute monetary donations to Madison Academy and the Junior Auxiliary of Madison County. Each organization received grants in the amount of $3,250.
The BP Fueling Communities program provides grants to local organizations that are nominated by BP’s Branded Marketers to support the communities in which they do business. Fueling Communities gives back to local organizations that support health, education, youth, food and housing to spread charity and goodwill.
Head of Madison Academy, Janna Barrs, expressed gratitude upon receiving the donation.
“We greatly appreciate BP and Johnson & Johnson Inc.’s commitment to the betterment of our community and its educational institutions,” Barrs stated. “The grant that was extended to our institution will be used to further enhance our educational program,” explained Barrs.
Cathy Rogers, President of the Junior Auxiliary of Madison County, also expressed appreciation in regards to receiving the grant.
“Junior Auxiliary of Madison County spends around $15,000 toward several service projects annually. The grant that we received will benefit the Junior Auxiliary as it will be contributed toward those projects,” explained Rogers.
Several service projects are lined up for the Junior Auxiliary of Madison County for the 2011-2012 year, including the JA Gems program, NFCC Scholarship program, and the Kids in Crisis program to name a few.
“As a local BP Branded Marketer, Johnson & Johnson Inc. was inspired to support these local organizations in order to give back to the community,” said Jay Johnson, president of Johnson & Johnson Inc. “Johnson & Johnson Inc. hopes that programs such as the BP Fueling Communities program will allow them to continue to make significant contributions to local organizations and causes.”
