EL DORADO, Ark.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#GreatFutures–Murphy USA Inc. (NYSE: MUSA) is excited to announce that its ‘Great Futures Fueled Here’ campaign for Boys & Girls Clubs of America has raised $6 million since its launch in 2020. The customer round-up campaign, which takes place at all Murphy USA, Murphy Express, and QuickChek sites across 27 states, supports Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s mission of enabling all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

In the fourth year of our partnership, we will again utilize our team members across the enterprise to encourage customers to ’round-up’ their purchases to provide much needed funding to their local Boys & Girls Clubs. This financial support helps to provide youth in our communities with the essential tools for cultivating a successful future.”
