Cumby Farms announces Believe & Achieve Scholarship

SAN RAMON, Calif. -- Chevron Products Co. has announced the official release of Victor E. Van, the newest addition to its Chevron Cars family, customized for Arizona State University (ASU).

Victor E. Van comes in ASU maroon and gold, features eyes that move, doors that open, side-view mirrors, and stickers with the ASU logo. Vans can be purchased at participating Chevron stations or through the Chevron Toy Cars' website at www.chevroncars.com.

The ASU Victor E. Van is now available for [image-nocss] a suggested retail price of $7.99 at participating Chevron gas stations. Chevron will donate a portion of its net proceeds from the sale of the ASU Victor E. Van to the Boys & Girls Club of The East Valley.

Also, in celebration of the newest addition to the Chevron Cars family, 10,000 ASU Victor E. Vans were given away at the ASU vs. Colorado home game on September 8. Members of the Boys & Girls club also participated in a pregame tailgate party.

With the introduction of the 2007 Victor E. Van models, there are 57 unique Chevron Cars in the collection with more than 16 million toy cars sold to date. Chevron's toy cars hit the marketplace in 1996 in the World of Cars Campaign to launch Chevron with Techron.

Separately, Canton, Mass.-based Cumberland Farms has announced that the second year of its Believe & Achieve Scholarship will begin October 1, 2007. The program provides individual $1,000 scholarships to eligible graduating high school seniors living in the company's service areas.

The program is open to students who live within 30 miles of any Cumberland Farms outlet in the Northeast and Florida and who are entering college in the fall of 2008. The scholarship program is also open to children of Cumberland Farms employees. While the initiative takes academic performance into account, the award also considers the student's financial need.

Cumberland Farms CEO Lily Bentas said, Last year we were able to help 79 motivated students, by assisting in the costs of paying for books or tuition. We're looking forward to being able to help more again this year.
