Wawa Day festivities also included free coffee and an exhibit at the National Constitution Center.

“I’m always looking for a place to belong,” Jones said. “That Wawa has embraced me in all of my quirkiness and craziness. I feel like I can be free there. It is a safe space.” Former NFL and Penn State football player Devon Still honored the “Day Brightener” customers including Jones; Maryann Tomasello, who bakes a tray of brownies for the staff at her West Berlin Wawa every week; and Danielle and John Heidrick, whose four kids all worked at their Wawa in Horsham growing up.
City representative Jazelle Jones read a proclamation from Mayor Cherelle L. Parker declaring April 16, 2024, to be Wawa Day. Later in the morning, Still and positive psychologists from the University of Pennsylvania gave a talk on the science behind the connections that happen at Wawa stores. Just last month, Jones experienced the blossoms of what he’s planted when the staff and customers of his Lansdale Wawa gathered around him to sing “Happy Birthday” on his big day.
