Verizon Fuels The Love with 11Alive’s ‘Atlanta & Company,’ surprise gas giveaway
ATLANTA, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Twenty customers who recently pulled up to pumps at a RaceTrac station on Clairmont Road in Atlanta were surprised with the gift of a full gas tank, thanks to Verizon’s “Fuel The Love” initiative and 11Alive’s “Atlanta & Company,” which aired the related segment during its Aug. 30 broadcast.
