Every year Road Ranger strives to find new ways to donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the leading children's cancer treatment and research center. This year we have partnered with over 10 different vendors to make your everyday purchases matter.
When you add the specially-marked "Monthly Donation Item" to your transaction at any Road Ranger location, the we make a donation directly to St. Jude to support their lifesaving mission of finding cures and saving children. It's a small way to give back while going about your daily routine. Just look for the brightly-colored tags that say "Your Purchase Helps Kids" to choose items like salty snacks, sweet treats, or drinks that trigger a donation.
Road Ranger will compile these micro-donations throughout the month and send them to St. Jude, providing a steady stream of funding to help push research forward and ensure no family receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
With over 50 Road Ranger locations across multiple states, this partnership provides a far-reaching network of donation points, making it easier than ever for Road Ranger shoppers to become St. Jude supporters. Every item you buy with a "Your Purchase Helps Kids" tag allows you to join the St. Jude mission of finding cures and saving children without spending any extra money.
Road Ranger Supports St. Jude
Road Ranger has teamed up with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to help support its mission: Finding cures. Saving children.®
As part of our partnership, Road Ranger locations and local communities will be able to join us in our partnership with St. Jude, a place so many kids call home while they fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Community Involement
Road Ranger will be offering in-store purchase round-ups throughout the year, where customers can round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. In addition to that, during the month of October, Road Ranger will be offering the opportunity for patrons to donate to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by purchasing a St. Jude branded wristbands at checkout. As a token of our gratitude, Road Ranger will match the first $10,000 donated as part of this month-long promotion.
Giving More Than Gallons
Road Ranger continues to find new avenues to give back. When you fuel at a Road Ranger location on the first Wednesday of every month, Road Ranger will donate a penny of every gallon pumped!
Grand Opening Donations
As we continue to build out our fuel network, we know that each community we join should be part of our mission. That is why Road Ranger donates $1,000 to the local community and 10% percent of Grand Opening profits to St. Jude on opening day!
Corporate Fundraising Events
As Road Ranger continues to increase our footprint in the travel center world, we wanted to stress the importance of giving back to charitable organizations. With that, Road Ranger's partnership with the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has given us another opportunity to host our 3rd Annual Road Ranger Golf Playday at Klein Creek Golf Club in Winfield, IL. With multiple levels of sponsorship possibilities, this event will provide over $80,000 of charitable donations directly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

St Jude. Partnership
Road Ranger as your friendly stop on the road—a place to refuel, grab a bite, and continue your journey. But what you might not know is that every visit you make to a Road Ranger location is an opportunity to join a mission much bigger than just travel. It's a chance to help save lives.
Road Ranger is a proud national corporate partner of St. Jude, working hand in hand with them to support children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. And they’re doing it in some truly impactful ways. For instance, on the first Wednesday of every month, Road Ranger donates one penny for every gallon of fuel sold directly to St. Jude. Imagine that: every time you fill up your tank, you’re helping fund critical research and treatment for children in need.
And it doesn't stop there. When you walk into any Road Ranger store, you might notice items marked with a special label—'Your Purchase Helps Kids.' A portion of each of those sales goes straight to St. Jude. It’s a simple way to contribute, but it means the world to those families who never have to worry about a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food while their child receives care.
Road Ranger also gives back during their grand openings. For each new store that opens, they donate $1,000 to the local community and an incredible 10% of the day's profits to St. Jude. It’s their way of celebrating growth while giving hope.
Throughout the year, there are even more ways to join the cause. At the register, you can choose to round up your purchase to the nearest dollar, with that extra change going straight to St. Jude. Ranger also participates with Customer Pin Up Donation, where customers can donate an amount of their choosing, sign it, and hang it in the store for all to see! It's a partnership rooted in generosity and driven by the belief that together, we can make a real difference.
And let’s not forget the annual Golf Playday—a fun event that raises funds directly for St. Jude’s lifesaving mission. Because at the heart of it all, Road Ranger believes that every child deserves a chance to live their brightest future.
So, the next time you find yourself pulling into a Road Ranger, remember that you’re not just stopping for fuel or a cup of coffee. You’re fueling hope. You’re supporting families. You’re making sure that St. Jude can continue its lifesaving work. Thank you to Road Ranger for proving that even small acts of kindness can travel a long, long way. And thank you all for being part of that journey. Together, we’re driving change and delivering hope, one mile at a time
