Change 4 Kids: Help Support Hasbro Children’s Hospital

Local Colbea Shell Gas Stations and Seasons Corner Markets Launch “Change 4 Kids” Campaign to Raise Funds for Hasbro Children’s Hospital in October.

Throughout the month of October, customers of thirty-three participating Colbea Shell Gas Stations and seven participating Seasons Corner Markets will have an opportunity to make donations to benefit Hasbro Children’s Hospital through the “Change 4 Kids” fundraising campaign. The campaign is made possible through the generosity of Colbea Enterprises, the parent company of participating locations, and coordinated in partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The effort is also supported with promotional assistance from Cumulus Providence.

All month long, participating locations will feature signage and collection boxes placed at the counters of Colbea Shell Gas Station and Seasons Corner Markets for customers to donate change from their purchases to Hasbro Children’s Hospital. In addition to the point-of-purchase collections, Colbea Enterprises has secured the support of vendors to offer customers daily ways to raise additional money for the hospital:

→ Mondays: $.01 cent per gallon of gasoline pumped
→ Tuesdays: $.25 cents per 20oz bottle of Coca-Cola sold
→ Wednesdays: $1 of all car washes at participating Colbea Shell Gas Stations
→ Thursdays: Proceeds from all Green Mountain coffee sales
→ Fridays: $.25 cents per 20oz bottle of Pepsi sold

“This is a wonderful effort for people to support the life-saving work of Hasbro Children’s Hospital during their day-to-day activities,” said Dr. Patricia Flanagan, interim pediatrician-in-chief for Hasbro Children’s Hospital. “We are extremely grateful to Colbea Enterprises, Colbea Shell, Seasons Corner Markets, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and Cumulus for coming together on our behalf—it is thanks to partnerships like this, and the community’s generosity, that we remain the area’s premier pediatric facility.”

Added Sandra Delli Carpini, marketing director for Colbea Enterprises and Seasons Corner Market, “Hasbro Children’s Hospital is an incredible resource for our community; nothing is more important than supporting the health and well-being of children and their families. Our customers are extremely loyal and generous—I have no doubt this campaign will be an overwhelming success.”
