About Fueling the Cure
Founded in September 2009, Fueling the Cure is a united initiative by four agricultural cooperatives - Sunrise Cooperative, Heritage Cooperative, Centerra Co-op, and Premier Energy - driven by a shared mission: to work cooperatively toward a common goal that strengthens communities and advances cancer research.
As part of this effort, Sunrise Cooperative donates $2 for every propane delivery stop to fund research at the James Cancer Hospital. Thanks to the dedication of our teams and the support of our customers, we’ve raised over $2.6 million - and we’re not stopping anytime soon.
Together, we’re fueling hope, fueling progress, and fueling the cure.
