CountryMark said in a news release dated 2026-10-09 that its Fueling Wishes fundraiser in Seymour raised $22,423 to benefit Jaxson, an 11-year-old Seymour child battling lymphoma. The company said all proceeds will go directly to Indiana Wish, and that customers donated more than $1,600 in cash inside the Premier Energy convenience store during the campaign.

CountryMark said the Seymour campaign included more than 136,500 gallons of CountryMark fuel sold at the station, and that this effort represents the ninth wish fulfilled through CountryMark’s partnership with Indiana Wish. The company also said Jaxson and his family are still deciding on his wish, which Indiana Wish will fulfill once chosen.

WHY IT MATTERS

CountryMark’s announcement matters locally because it documents a completed community fundraising effort tied to a commercial retail location in Seymour and names the nonprofit beneficiary. Indiana Wish is described by CountryMark as a Hoosier-based nonprofit that grants wishes for Indiana children facing life‑threatening or terminal illnesses, so the donated funds are intended for a direct, child‑centered outcome rather than general operating support.

Fueling Wishes is a company program CountryMark said it launched in 2022 to help its stations and surrounding communities support Indiana families facing serious illnesses. In this campaign, the fundraiser combined fuel purchases at the Seymour station with in‑store cash donations; CountryMark reported both totals (more than 136,500 gallons sold and over $1,600 in cash donations) as part of the $22,423 raised. For example: customers buying fuel at the station contributed alongside shoppers who added cash in the convenience store, and the pooled amount will be handed to Indiana Wish.

The next item to watch, based on CountryMark’s release, is when Jaxson’s family decides the wish and Indiana Wish announces the specific wish fulfillment. CountryMark’s statement also notes this campaign as the ninth wish tied to its partnership with Indiana Wish, a detail that signals an ongoing corporate–nonprofit relationship rather than a one‑off promotion.
