Wawa Partners with Special Olympics Virginia

Wawa's long history of support for SOVA continues into 2022
Wawa Volunteers

For almost 20 years, Wawa has supported Special Olympics Virginia athletes on and off the field. This year Wawa continues that tradition by providing not one, not two, but three unique ways to support Special Olympics Virginia while picking up your morning beverage, and filling up your gas tank at Wawa locations across the state.

Through the Wawa Coin & Round-Up campaign, you can make a difference by donating spare change at Wawa's coin canisters or rounding-up to the nearest dollar at the register December 27 through February 20. You can also be a game changer by participating in the Scan Card campaign by asking your Wawa associate to scan your donation January 18 through February 14.

For a limited time, Wawa will also be debuting a specialty beverage named the “Gold Medal Hot Chocolate,” which can be found on their touch screen ordering system until February 28. In addition to this warm treat, Wawa will be donating $30,000 in support of Team Virginia, which includes 50 athletes who’ll be competing on the national stage in Orlando in June.

Special Olympics Virginia, with the help of amazing partners like Wawa and customers like you, are changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities through year-round sports training and competition, critical health services, leadership development and inclusive programs. Your contributions will help continue the efforts in building an inclusive world for all.
