EL DORADO, Ark., April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Murphy USA Inc.

Every year, more than 4.7 million young people are served by Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a youth advocacy organization working to ensure that all kids and teens have the same opportunities to succeed in life. After-school programs at Boys & Girls Clubs support the learning young people do during the school day. They ensure all youth have the resources they need to achieve a great future – including a safe, supportive environment and caring adult mentors.
"In these difficult times, it's critical that kids and teens get the resources they need to continue their education and navigate through the new challenges they may be facing," said Jim Clark, president and CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of America. "We are so thankful to have Murphy USA as a new partner. Their support will help us continue to provide high-quality programming to our youth, especially those who need us most."
The cause campaign will run in phases, with Phase 1 running from April 1 – May 5 and Phase 2 beginning August 5. During the campaign, customers can choose to make a monetary contribution of $1, $2 or $5, or round-up their purchases to the nearest dollar amount at checkout.
