Congratulations to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula!

After receiving the most votes from their local community, we selected the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula as the winner of The Wawa Foundation Virginia Hero Award! We proudly presented the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula with their award and a $20,000 grant during a special event at Wawa Store #8642 in Hampton, VA. The three runners-up were also recognized that day, each receiving a $5,000 grant.
