“Every year, Sunoco as a company comes together to support Aga Khan Foundation USA and its mission to end global poverty. AKF’s mission and Sunoco’s mission – the common connection is being involved and giving back to the communities. To be able to spend time with our customers outside of the business… and see the work actually being done and that’s very rewarding to people like that.”
