The story of Wawa’s partnership with Breakthrough T1D to find a cure for T1D!
in General

Since 1994, Wawa has been a strong partner in support of Breakthrough T1D and T1D research, contributing more than $10 million through direct contributions and in-store fundraising campaigns in more than 940 Wawa stores throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Florida and Washington, D.C.
Breakthrough T1D was the first coin canister campaign that Wawa started and is the longest-standing partnership! Our partnership is further enhanced by donations from The Wawa Foundation, which is committed to helping Breakthrough T1D create a world without T1D—and to building strong communities by supporting causes related to health, hunger, and everyday heroes.
Every fall, when you stop by your local Wawa for your regular coffee, hoagie, or other delicious snacks, be sure to drop your spare change in their Breakthrough T1D coin collection canister or donate at the register. If you’re lucky, you’ll get the limited edition Breakthrough T1D coffee clutch!
Wawa associates also participate in Breakthrough T1D One Walk events and are encouraged to join teams to further drive awareness, fundraising, and team engagement in the communities they serve. The foundation selects signature walks where they kick start the team fundraising. In addition, the foundation will match employee fundraising efforts up to $100 on any of the Breakthrough T1D One Walk events!
Wawa’s involvement with Breakthrough T1D is a wonderful example of associates and customers working together to achieve the shared vision of creating a world without T1D.
We thank Wawa and its associates for all they do!
