The Spinx Co. founder, Stewart Spinks, recently presented a check for $225,000 to Kelly Jamerson, corporate relations manager for the American Cancer Society. For 11 years now, Spinx has held an annual store campaign collecting donations from communities all over South Carolina, in support of the group.
“The American Cancer Society is a cause that hits close to home, as I am a cancer survivor myself,” Stewart Spinks said. “I am so proud of both our Spinx team, and our selfless customers for their generosity and dedication to the American Cancer Society for the 11th year in a row. The Spinx Co. is honored to support their mission and its efforts in education, treatment, and research to discover more successful treatments, and ultimately a cure for cancer.”
All 82 Spinx stores participated in the campaign.
Founded in 1972 in Greenville, South Carolina, The Spinx Co. operates convenience retail stores throughout South Carolina, and with approximately 1,400 employees, it is the largest privately held retailer headquartered in the state. It offers on-the-go food, beverages and other convenience products.
The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of 2 million volunteers. It is the largest voluntary health organization and the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit investor in cancer research.
