Dear Sir,

I would like to bring to your attention the recent competition and promotion that Rubis has launched, called “Fuelling 4 a Cause”, as part of the company’s tenth anniversary celebrations.

The work started in July of this year when Rubis reached out to its employees, dealers and dealers’ staff, and asked each of them to nominate their five favourite non-profits and charities. The results were collated and the top 24 were invited to take part in “Fuelling 4 a Cause”.

All 24 nominations were then given the opportunity to submit a photograph illustrating how Rubis helps to get them going. All 24 submissions were reviewed by a judging panel and 12 charities were selected to be featured as one of the monthly images for the extremely popular Rubis 2017 calendar.

Additionally, each of these 12 would also be participating in the “Fuelling 4 a Cause” promotion.

We were happy to have been selected as one of the charities that will be featured in the 2017 calendar, which also means from September 28 through to November 9, 2016, Rubis will donate five cents per US gallon of fuel sold at its network of service stations to the 12 charities chosen. On top of this, Rubis will be donating more funds to the charity that can encourage as many of its supporters to get their gas at Rubis and vote for them.

This encourages each of us to use the many ways to spread the word about this promotion, so as to get our votes up and more funds to us.

This is such a unique and rewarding way to expand Rubis’ normal way of charitable giving.

Our hats go off to you, Rubis, for thinking of this fantastic way of giving.

We are so happy to be a part of this promotion and competition, and wish much luck to all of the charities included.
