QuickCheck is again helping raise funds for Hope For The Warriors.
QuickChek Corporation, based in Whitehouse Station, will be raising funds to help support post-9/11 service members and their families through an in-store donation program, according to a news release.
Customers can purchase paper dog-tags for $1 at any of the company's 142 locations from Saturday through June 4 to benefit Hope For The Warriors, a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for post-9/11 service members, their families, and families of the fallen who have sustained physical and psychological wounds in the line of duty.
All of the funds raised will stay in local areas to help support local veterans, it was stated in the release.
"We are very pleased to continue to honor and support our service members and their families who give so much of themselves," said QuickChek Chief Executive Officer Dean Durling, whose family-owned-company has raised millions of dollars to support a variety of causes benefiting children, families, and veterans.

This is the third year in a row the company has run this promotion: In 2015 a total of $92,000 was raised over six weeks and, in 2014, a total of $75,000 was donated over four weeks.
"We are also very proud of our customers who strongly support our efforts to give back to the communities we serve," Durling said. "It is a reflection of our being a welcome part of the neighborhoods where we have store locations and recognition of our total commitment and dedication to our customers."
Each dog-tag that is purchased will be signed and posted on the walls of each of the company's stores throughout New Jersey, New York's Hudson Valley and Long Island in support of the service members and their families, according to the news release.
