We are so proud to share that Ryan Leathery won the Corey Cup this year! Congratulations, Ryan! We are so proud of you!

The Corey Cup is a wonderful way to honor Corey’s memory while bringing athletes, coaches, families, and friends together through the sport he loved. A special thank-you to Coach Deb Gable and Corey’s parents for continuing this meaningful tradition and helping make this event so special each year.

We are so proud of our Global Messenger, Brian Honeychuck, who was invited to represent the Special Olympics at the grand opening of a new Sheetz in Lebanon!

As a Sheetz employee in York and an active member of Special Olympics, Brian had the opportunity to share a few words about his involvement with Special Olympics, thank Sheetz for their continued support, and talk about what it means to be part of the Sheetz team. He did an AMAZING job!

And the generosity didn’t stop there! Sheetz donated $2,500 to Special Olympics, and the property owner generously matched that donation with another $2,500, bringing the total to an incredible $5,000 donation! 🎉

We are so thankful for businesses and community partners who believe in inclusion and continue to support the athletes of Special Olympics. Most of all, we are incredibly proud of Brian for using his voice to represent our athletes and show the community what it means to be a Global Messenger.

Way to go, Brian! We are so proud of you!

⚾️ Hit off the tee
