Wawa first launched Wawa Day in April 2014 to commemorate its 50th anniversary in convenience retailing and to introduce The Wawa Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the company’s charitable giving efforts.

Each year, Wawa hosts special events during the week of April 16 to celebrate these milestones and to thank customers, associates and community partners for their ongoing support.

This year, Wawa and The Wawa Foundation are also celebrating a major milestone: $200 million in charitable giving since the foundation’s inception.
