  From Bus & Motorcoach News:

What began as a suggestion from drivers at Fullington Trailways quickly transformed into a community-wide effort to support North Carolina residents in the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Helene.

President and CEO Jonathan Berzas led the charge, bringing together employees, businesses, and the community to support a cause far beyond its hometown of State College, Pennsylvania.
