TravelCenters of America and Blue Tiger USA to Present $105,000 to Truckers Development and Relief Fund

TravelCenters of America LLC, (TravelCenters), operator of TA® and Petro Stopping Centers® branded travel centers, has partnered with Blue Tiger USA® to benefit truck drivers through the St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF) with a portion of the proceeds from sales of specially designed Blue Tiger Elite headsets.

A check in the amount of $105,000 will be presented to SCF on Thursday, August 25 at 12:45 p.m. during a special press conference at the Great American Trucking Show (GATS) in Dallas, TX. The check presented to SCF was made possible by Blue Tiger who designated $10 for each headset sold by TravelCenters locations.

"We are so excited about the Blue Tiger Elite headset program with TravelCenters and Blue Tiger USA. Professional drivers know SCF's primary mission is supporting them through difficult medical issues and this campaign helps us do just that. We are proud of this partnership and this amazing product and thank TravelCenters and Blue Tiger USA for your support!" Shannon Currier, Director of Philanthropy and Development with SCF.

"We, along with Blue Tiger USA, are thrilled to be able to continue to support SCF," said Tom O’Brien President and CEO of TravelCenters. "Drivers know how important SCF is to them and their families and we are honored to be associated with both SCF and Blue Tiger."

“Professional drivers directly support the United States economy and it’s really amazing what the St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund (SCF) has done to support them. TravelCenters of America stepped in to help support this organization without any hesitation. We could not be more proud to partner with TA and Petro Stopping Centers to give back to some of the hardworking people who keep America running,” said Fieras Saah, President of Blue Tiger.
