Riiser Energy Pride Pump Donates Funds to Marathon City 2020 LTD’s The Power of Community Campaign

Riiser Energy has donated more than $600 to the Marathon City 2020 LTD’s The Power of Community Campaign benefiting the Heritage Center and building project.

The Riiser Pride Pump, located at 401 Main St. in Marathon, WI, currently donates 2¢ per gallon pumped to Marathon School District Foundation Endowment Fund. From November through December 2017, the Riiser organization committed to donate an additional 1¢ per gallon intended for The Power of Community Campaign which includes Heritage Center repairs, a Heritage Center sign, and a new park outside the center.

At the end of December, the R-Store Pride Pump had collected nearly $625. Riiser representatives presented Marathon City 2020 with a check in February 2018.

“The improvement campaign for the Heritage Center is a positive initiative for the community,” commented Todd Kopplin, Riiser’s Executive VP of Retail Operations. “We are excited to get behind Marathon City 2020 LTD and assist with the project.”

The Pride Pump contribution supports Marathon City 2020’s efforts to raise funds for The Power of Community Campaign. Marathon City 2020 plans to transform the worn-out parking lot and abandoned bank drive-thru on the Heritage Center property into an environmentally friendly and inviting greenspace. This “pocket park” will feature a covered stage, raised planting beds with built-in seating, a transitional area for additional seating or entertainment, bike racks and more so it can serve as a multifunctional place for education, relaxation, entertainment, and cultural attractions. Additionally, they plan to correct issues with the Heritage Center's front cornice and install a new visually appealing sign.

“The R Store’s pride pump contributions demonstrate their commitment and longstanding support for growth and development in the Village of Marathon City,” said Edee Zuleger, president of Marathon City 2020 Ltd. “The Marathon City 2020 board is extremely grateful to R-Store and the Riiser organization for their generous and timely support for our board’s ‘The Power of Community’ fundraising campaign.”

Zuleger encourages community members to donate online and show their spirit for Power of Community Campaign.

The Power of Community Campaign kicked off on October 26, 2017, and will continue throughout 2018. The organization’s goal is to secure necessary funds and begin construction in 2018, with anticipated completion by late summer so a grand opening can be scheduled by Labor Day weekend 2018 during the annual Fun Days community-wide event.
