Wawa, the grab and go convenience store/gas station is giving free coffee and fountain drinks to guests all day on July 18 to celebrate 10 years of operation in Florida.

Each Hot Coffee and Fountain Drink will be able to be redeemed at any size at all of its Florida locations.

The Pennsylvania-based retailer opened its location in Florida in Orlando across the street from SeaWorld on July 18, 2012. Wawa will open it’s 250th location in Florida by the end of this year.

Wawa President and CEO Chris Gheysens said he believed it was important to give back to the Florida communities that supported his business for the past 10 years.

“Though it’s been 10 years since Wawa first opened its doors in the Sunshine State, it feels like we’ve been here for even longer as we’ve been fortunate to develop so many lasting relationships and meaningful connections over the past decade,” said Wawa President and CEO Chris Gheysens. “We’re thrilled to offer all Florida customers free coffee on July 18 and celebrate that with the launch of the Florida 10th Anniversary Fund to support all the nonprofit organizations that give back to our communities in countless ways, every day. Cheers to 10 years in the Sunshine State and to many more decades of growth and fulfilling lives in Florida.”

The Florida 10th Anniversary Fund will have a total of $100,000 dollars spread across 1,000 local nonprofits in the area with grant amounts varying between $1,000 and $2,500.

Deadline to apply for eligible nonprofits is on its website by Aug. 31.
