Ribbon Cutting: The Market at Preston | Spirit Pump

Join us for a Ribbon Cutting ceremony to celebrate the launch of a brand new community partnership right here in Charlottesville! This exciting event marks the debut of a spirit pump initiative brought to you by The Markets by Tiger and Charlottesville City-wide PTO Fund, a one-of-a-kind opportunity to fuel up while giving back. Whether you're a longtime supporter of local schools or simply looking for a great reason to stop by, this is a wonderful chance to connect with community members and local leaders while being part of something meaningful. 

The Market at Preston’s Sprit Pump will support the Charlottesville City-Wide PTO Fund from Wednesday, March 11th – July 31st, 2026. 1 cent per gallon of each fill up will support the Charlottesville City-wide PTO Fund in their mission to increase funding to support academic enrichment and school programming, address inequities in PTO fundraising across all Charlottesville City Schools, and to amplify the overall impact for students and educators districtwide.

Established in 1991, The Markets by Tiger is a chain of gourmet-to-go convenience stores, locally-owned and operated by Tiger Fuel Company. With a passion for running well-operated and sparkling clean stores, they are dedicated to delighting customers and inspiring smiles. At The Markets, you are always welcome to refresh and refuel as you pause on your journey to anywhere!
