Competing convenience stores Sheetz and Wawa agree on one thing - helping Special Olympics.
The COEs of the stores and some employees recently took part in a “Burrr-tual Polar Pop” on social media in place of the usual Polar Plunge that raises money for Special Olympics.
Each store also is donating $5,000 to Special Olympics.
For the “Polar Pop,” Sheetz CEO Joe Sheetz and Wawa CEO Chris Gheysens held a balloon filled with cold water over their heads then popped the balloon. They shared the cold water challenge on social media using #PAPolarPop and #FreezinForAReason. The pop is in place of the annual Polar Plunge when people jump into frigid water.
