Riiser Fuels LLC Announces R-Store Pride Pump will support Marathon City 2020’s The Power of Communi

Riiser Fuels LLC has announced that it will contribute a portion of the funds raised from its R-Store Pride Pump in Marathon, Wis., during the month of August to the Marathon City 2020 LTD’s The Power of Community Campaign benefiting the Heritage Center Park project.

The R-Store’s Pride Pump, located at 401 Main St. in Marathon, WI, currently donates 2¢ per gallon pumped to the Marathon School District Foundation Endowment Fund. From August 1-31, 2018, the Riiser Fuels organization has committed to donate an additional 1¢ per gallon to MC2020’s campaign that is raising money for a new Heritage Center Park.

“The Heritage Center Park is a very positive initiative for this community and it will greatly enhance the downtown,” commented Todd Kopplin, Riiser Fuels’ Executive VP of Retail Operations. “We are excited to support Marathon City 2020 and assist with their fundraising campaign.”

The Pride Pump contribution will support MC2020’s efforts 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. MC2020 has already corrected issues with the Heritage Center's front cornice and installed a new visually appealing sign.

“The Marathon City 2020 board is extremely grateful to R-Store and Riiser Fuels for offering their generous and timely support for The Power of Community fundraising campaign,” said Edee Zuleger, president of MC2020. “We are trying to meet our fundraising goal and complete the project this year. The R Store’s Pride Pump contributions really demonstrate Riiser Fuels’ commitment and longstanding support for growth and development in the Village of Marathon City,”

The organization is working to secure the remaining $20,000 of its fundraising goal and begin construction in July. Anticipated completion is end of August so a grand opening can be scheduled by Labor Day weekend 2018 during the annual Fun Days community-wide event.
