According to the Tucson Regional Clean Cities Coalition Arizona Petroleum reached their goal of raising $2,000 for the Alzheimer’s Desert Southwest Chapter Memory Walk. During the month of October, Arizona Petroleum, Tucson’s largest supplier of E85 and Biodiesel in Southern Arizona, gave .5 cents of every gallon of E85 and Biodiesel sold, both bulk and retail, to the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk.

“On Saturday, November 6, 2010 I was proud to be at the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk event while Jerry Kachenko, of Arizona Petroleum, stood on the stage at the Reid Park Bandshell and presented the Desert Southwest Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association with a check for $2,000,” noted Colleen Crowninshield, Manager, Clean Cities/Solar Partnership Programs. “We should all be very proud that we are giving back to our community by using biofuels, and I want to extend a warm thank you to Arizona Petroleum, for giving their time and dollars to this very worthwhile event.”
