CHARITY OIL WARMS HEARTS AND HOMES IN NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA

摘要

CITGO Marketer Robert Spiegel believes in giving back to his local community and in the great power of family. These personal beliefs combined with his family's expertise in the petroleum industry led to the creation of Charity Oil, a nonprofit organization that provides quality heating oil at an affordable price and donates to charities selected by the customer. The inspiration for Charity Oil grew out of tragedy. The Spiegel family lost Robert's sister Jodi Spiegel Fisher to breast cancer in 2004. During her battle with the illness, Robert became an avid runner to help cope with his sister's ailing health. While on a trail run, he came up with the idea to create a separate entity in honor of his sister that would be dedicated to fostering non-profit relationships. "The name 'Charity Oil' came to me instantly. I needed to make something positive happen after so many friends and neighbors helped my family through the loss of a loved one," said Spiegel. "The idea is that we partner with like-minded fuel companies such as CITGO and other distributors who deliver fuel and heating oil to customers at a discount to help support charitable work in their local communities."
