Yesway raised more than $630,000 during its Fifth Annual Golf & Clays Classic Charitable Fundraising Tournament, held Sept. 22-23 at The Golf Clubs at The Tribute and Elm Fork Shooting Sports in Dallas, Texas.
Since its inception, the event has generated nearly $3 million to support nonprofits that make a difference in the communities where Yesway operates. This year’s proceeds will benefit Operation Homefront, a national nonprofit serving military families, as well as several local charities, civic organizations and first responders across the company’s operating areas. These include police and fire departments in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, as well as local programs such as Ruidoso Strong, HELP Inc., the DARE Program of Otero County and the Christian Outdoor Alliance.
“The Golf & Clays Classic has become more than a fundraiser – it is a celebration of partnership, generosity and shared purpose,” said Tom Trkla, Yesway’s chairman and CEO.
“We have raised nearly $3 million since launching the event in 2021, making a tangible difference for veterans, families and communities across our footprint. On behalf of the Yesway and Allsup’s family, we thank our partners for their continued belief in our mission and their support.”
Ray Harrison, Yesway’s chief marketing and merchandising officer, added, “Yesway is deeply committed to giving back to the communities we call home. This event brings together our team, vendor partners and industry friends to create lasting impact. Our vendor and supplier partners are the true champions behind its success – their generosity and enthusiasm make it all possible.”
