For more than two decades, Pak-A-Sak has been raising money for local communities.
The annual Pak-A-Sak benefit golf outing, better known as the James E. Peterson Memorial Golf Outing, recently topped $200,000 in charitable donations.
This year’s outing raised $16,000, to bring the total to $208,000 over the 22 years the outing has been held.
Named after the company’s founder, who passed away in 2012, the annual event has been exclusively supported by the company’s vendors and suppliers since its inception in 1993.
This year, the Portland, Ind.-based convenience store chain chose to make the regional chapter of Youth for Christ its exclusive benefactor. Youth for Christ serves the five county region of Adams, Blackford, Grant, Jay and Wells.
Pak-A-Sak operates stores throughout east central Indiana and west central Ohio.
