“We are so happy that we were able to not only meet but exceed our goal for this very important program,” said Barry Richards, President and COO of TravelCenters. “Our partnership with TAT has produced significant results over the years and we continue to feel it is important for us to bring attention to this problem and to do what we can to help eradicate it.”
High Noon Sales VP of Sales and Marketing Justin Hoffman, participated in the check hand off to TAT. “We were thrilled to be able to partner with TA to raise funds for Truckers Against Trafficking. And we’re proud that our merchandise was selected for the campaign. We gladly matched the contribution that TA made.”
