CITGO Petroleum Corporation has been a major supporter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) for 26 years. In 2011 alone, MDA fund-raising efforts of our employees, Marketers, Retailers and business partners resulted in a contribution of $12.3 million. Together, we’ve raised more than $140 million in the fight against neuromuscular disease since 1986!
MDA is a National voluntary health agency – a dedicated partnership between scientists and concerned citizens aimed at conquering neuromuscular diseases that affect more than a million Americans.
Thanks to CITGO, enormous progress is being made in the fight against neuromuscular diseases. Through the continued efforts of committed members of the CITGO family, we’re assured to help bring hope today to the lives of families affected by neuromuscular disease while providing hope in the way of treatments and cures in the future.

MDA recently announced some significant breakthroughs in the fight against the following neuromuscular diseases. Please visit the sites below for your latest updates:

It is because of our Marketers’, Retailers’, employees’ business partners’ and customers’ dedication and contributions to Jerry’s Kids that this type of research—which one day will lead to a cure—can be funded.
