[April 28, 2026] – Mirabito Convenience Stores and its customers have once again united to make a meaningful impact in our communities through the Mirabito Cares Round Up campaign. Held at 112 Mirabito Convenience Store locations across New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont from March 2 through 31, the register round up campaign raised $60,000 in support of both The Upstate Foundation and Friends of Bassett.
The funds were made possible through the generosity of Mirabito customers who rounded up their in-store purchases at Mirabito stores, combined with a significant corporate contribution from Mirabito. Proceeds will directly support lifesaving care and resources for families at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, and help offer preventative care through Bassett Healthcare Network’s School-Based Health Program to keep children healthy. Both organizations will each receive $30,000.
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our customers and the dedication of our team, who make our Round Up campaigns so impactful,” says Marissa Sweeney, Senior Director of Marketing for Mirabito Holdings, Inc. “Pediatric healthcare plays a critical role in building a strong future for our communities, and the work these two organizations do to support children and families is truly invaluable. We are proud to support the Upstate Foundation and Friends of Bassett in their ongoing efforts to advance the health and wellbeing of our youth.”
“Thank you to Mirabito and all their team members who have been so supportive of our mission,” says Cynthia Rotella, Director of Development- Southern Tier for the Upstate Foundation. “We have hundreds of children across the state with various conditions and illnesses who travel to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, and the last thing we want them to worry about is how they are going to fill their gas tanks, pay their bills, or keep their lights on – so we cannot thank Mirabito enough for all that they do for us”.
“Thank you to Mirabito for their incredible generosity and commitment to our community,” says Jane Hamilton, RN, Manager of Bassett Healthcare Network’s School-Based Health Program. “More than 7,000 children and families rely on Bassett’s School-Based Health Program for vital access to pediatric care – including medical, dental, and mental health. No family pays out of pocket for school-based health care, and the program is made possible in great part by donors and community partners. Mirabito Cares is an amazing example of how this collaboration makes a difference in the health of our community.”
Through initiatives like these, Mirabito Cares remains deeply committed to supporting children and families at every stage of care, ensuring they have access to the resources they need to thrive. This commitment reflects our core values and our ongoing promise to care for the communities we serve.
