The Wawa Foundation

Connect the Good

We aim to Connect the Good in our community through funding, sharing, volunteering, aiding and honoring everyday heroes. With the help of our customers, we’re able to provide annual support to seven National Partners, including American Red Cross, Check-Out Hunger, Children’s Miracle Network, JDRF, LLS, Special Olympics and USO and thousands of local charity partners.

For the past three years, The Wawa Foundation has supported the Blood Saves Lives Sickle Cell initiative to support the Red Cross efforts to increase African America blood donor base to meet hospital demand and provide the most compatible units for patients with sickle cell disease, lowering risks of pain and suffering for sickle cell patients.

This grant and Joan’s story is just one of thousands that show the impact of efforts that enable The Wawa Foundation to provide important and often life-saving support to organizations like the Red Cross.
