At Rapid Robert’s, we believe in fueling more than just your vehicle—we’re committed to fueling opportunity, education, and brighter futures across the communities we serve. On August 30, 2024, we launched our Fueling the Future fundraiser, a one-day campaign with a powerful mission: support Springfield Public Schools through direct community action. Thanks to the incredible support from our customers and partners, we raised over $10,000 for the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools.
The event was a true community effort. Across participating Rapid Robert’s locations in Springfield, we donated 10 cents for every eligible transaction made that day. But we didn’t do it alone. In association with Conoco, Phillips 66, Ozarks Coca-Cola/Dr Pepper Bottling Company, and Hiland Dairy, we extended our impact throughout the month of August. Additional donations came from the sale of select beverages, including 20oz Coke and Dr. Pepper products and 16oz Lemonade and Red Diamond Tea, with 5 cents per unit also benefiting the cause.
The Foundation for Springfield Public Schools plays a critical role in bridging funding gaps and providing educational resources that help students learn, grow, and thrive. From classroom materials and technology to extracurricular programs and student support services, these funds help ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background.
Fueling the Future wasn’t just a fundraiser—it was a rallying cry. Our team, customers, and community partners came together with one shared goal: empower the next generation. The result? Thousands of purchases transformed into meaningful impact for local students.
We’re proud of what we accomplished together, and even prouder to partner with organizations making a difference in our communities. Thank you to everyone who participated, made a purchase, or helped spread the word throughout August. Your everyday actions added up to an extraordinary outcome.
Because when we say we’re committed to the communities we serve, we mean every item, every cent, every student.
