Jay Ricker presents Major Keith Welch with the final donations from their red kettle contest. Ricker's BP locations raised over $4,000 in this market for The Salvation Army.
Jay Ricker is serious about raising support for The Salvation Army. So much so that he put his employees up to a challenge. The BP am/pm store that collected the most money in their Salvation Army countertop kettles this Christmas season would win a two-hour visit with him. The challenge got competitive when the employees learned that Ricker would be visiting dressed as a clown, passing out free hotdogs to patrons. Read more
Ricker’s join kettle campaign

We all do quite a bit of traveling this time of year – whether it’s around town to shop for gifts or a few counties over to visit with friends and family. So when you’re in the Central Indiana area and in need of a fuel up and some snacks, remember our friends at BP’s am/pm locations.
Only recently I discovered that these fuel stations and convenience stores are locally owned and operated by Jay and Nancy Ricker’s Ricker Oil Company of Anderson, IN. This community-minded and generous couple has involved every one of the Ricker’s BP am/pm locations in our Red Kettle campaign. So, when you’re picking up a sandwich or a bag of chips to get you from here to there, you can turn your pocket change into shelter for the homeless or after-school programs for at-risk city kids.
Tune in to our WIBC Radiothon this December 12-14 to hear more about how the Rickers support their community and The Salvation Army. And, if you’d like to become a Radiothon hourly sponsor, you can learn more at our Radiothon event site or you can give me (Kristen) a call at 224-1019. The need is great this season, so every dollar makes a difference!
