ALOHA PETROLEUM HELPS TO RAISE MORE THAN $25,000 FOR THE MAKE LEMONADE PROJECT THROUGH MATCHING GIFT CAMPAIGN 

HONOLULU, HAWAII (January 23, 2023) – Aloha Petroleum recently helped raise more than $25,000 for the Make Lemonade Project, which helps cancer patients to ease the financial burdens of treatment. Aloha Petroleum matched all donations to the nonprofit organization from Dec. 15 through Dec. 31, 2022, up to $5,000. An anononymous donor additionally matched Aloha Petroleum’s donation. 

“We’re so pleased to be able to help cancer patients turn lemons into lemonade through our first-ever matching gift challenge,” said Casie Bui, director, sales operations and marketing for Aloha Petroleum. “The Make Lemonade Project is doing such incredible work in our community, providing much-needed financial support to patients so that they can focus on healing.”

A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Make Lemonade Project helps cancer patients through three impactful programs. Lemon-Aid provides grants to hard-working cancer patients as they navigate the high costs of treatment. The Lemonade Shop is a web-shop filled with gifts. Free Lemonade Stands filled with free gifts for patients and providers are located in adult and pediatric Cancer Centers on Oahu.

“We are so humbled by the generosity of Aloha Petroleum and grateful to donors who made this gift possible. These funds will go a long way in assisting hard-working cancer patients who make too much to qualify for low-income programs but too little to cover the bills that come with a cancer diagnosis,” said Co-Founder Kelsey Nishi Darling. “The patients who receive these funds will be able to rest easier and focus on healing. Thank you so very, very much.”
