The cancelations for 2020 continue to grow due to coronavirus concerns and the latest casualty is 7-Eleven Day. 

For the past 20 years, 7-Eleven has celebrated "7-Eleven Day" on July 7th (7/11, get it) by giving customers a free slurpee. Well, like most things this year, 7-Eleven Day has been canceled. 7-Eleven explained that typically they get millions of customers nationwide who partake in a free slurpee, but this year social distancing makes it hard to accommodate everyone. 

Instead, slurpee fans can join 7-Eleven's rewards club, 7Rewards, and you'll receive a coupon for a free medium slurpee that can be redeemed in the month of July. 7-Eleven will also be donating 1 million meals to Feeding America.
