BOSTON, Mass., July 22, 2016 /3BL Media/ – This July through October, CITGO Petroleum Corporation, along with its local New England partners, SEI Fuels, H.A. Mapes, Global Partners and Tradewinds, will fuel good for the Red Sox Foundation through the installation of unique Red Sox-branded gas pumps at multiple CITGO stations throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine.

Red Sox fans and CITGO customers alike can stop by the designated gas stations to fill up their tank at the branded Spirit Pump and a portion of their fuel purchase will be donated directly to the Red Sox Foundation. In addition to the Red Sox Spirit Pumps, customers can look for “Fuel Change” donation boxes or receive a one-of-a-kind Red Sox Foundation baseball mobile at the register by donating $1 or $5 to support the organization.

“We greatly appreciate the Red Sox pride and support that CITGO and its Marketers are providing at their stations throughout New England,” said Gena Borson, Executive Director of the Red Sox Foundation. “Not only are the CITGO Red Sox Foundation Spirit Pumps helping to fuel our enrichment programs and activities at the foundation, but they are also encouraging local residents to get involved and share the responsibility for improving our communities.”
