While excited about the idea of adding a supercharged and innovative TESLA to its company fleet, Maggie Fisher, Canteen VP of Marketing, called the decision an easy one.

“As a leader in unattended retail solutions, we are honored to work closely and support organizations in the communities we serve. This is a win-win,” she said.

Fisher said proceeds from the sale of the TESLA will be split between Aspire Coffeeworks, a dynamic social enterprise providing meaningful work to adults with disabilities, and Mooseheart, a residential childcare facility located on a 1,000 acre campus west of Chicago providing a safe home for children and teens in need.

USAT, a leader in cashless payments, consumer engagement and business logistics technology for the unattended retail market, provides one of the industry’s most comprehensive, secure and turnkey enterprise solutions which seeks to increase sales, operational efficiencies and consumer loyalty.

“Canteen has long been one of our most valued partners, and we were thrilled when they won the TESLA. We are equally delighted with their decision to use this sweepstakes to help charities,” said Maeve McKenna Duska, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Development.
