This month, Casey’s is showing gratitude for the service and
sacrifice of our country’s veterans and active service members. Now
through November 28, Casey’s is inviting its guests to round up
their in-store purchases to benefit two organizations that provide
assistance and support to military veterans and their families:
Hope For The Warriors (HOPE) and Children of Fallen Patriots
Foundation.
Casey’s has been a long-time partner of Hope For The Warriors, a
national nonprofit dedicated to restoring stability, strength and
community for veterans, service members and their families. Casey’s
also works with Children of Fallen Patriots, which provides
scholarships and educational counseling to military children who
have lost a parent in the line of duty.
“Service members, both past and present, have given so much to
our country. Last year, our guests helped us make a significant
impact on these brave men and women by raising more than $1 million
for these two nonprofit organizations,” said Darren Rebelez,
President and CEO of Casey’s, and a veteran of the United States
Army. “We are grateful for PepsiCo’s continued partnership on this
campaign and appreciate the sincere generosity of our guests and
team members through this annual opportunity to give back in a
meaningful way.”
Casey’s guests can show they are “Here for Veterans” by
contributing to the campaign in two ways:
- Donate your change by rounding up any in-store purchases at
their local Casey’s.
- Support veterans and their families when you buy a 20 oz.
Pepsi, small Lays or Doritos, and a Mega Slice. Pepsi will make a
donation of $25,000.
“PepsiCo is honored to partner with Casey’s in our continued
support of the military heroes who have served and protected our
country,” said Tameka McBride, Senior Vice President of Commercial,
PepsiCo Beverages North America, Central Division. “Through our
annual PepsiCo Rolling Remembrance relay and Casey’s annual giving
campaign, we are proud to raise funds for organizations that
support veterans and their families across our communities for
nearly a decade.”
Casey’s is committed to make life better for communities every
day. And with the help of its guests and partners, Casey’s has been
able to make a significant impact on veterans, service members and
their families – donating $8 million to date through its in-store
round-up campaigns.
“As a longtime supporter of Hope For The Warriors, Casey’s and
its guests have continued to show their dedication to military
families,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Hope For The
Warriors. “At Hope For The Warriors, we know the needs of service
members, veterans and their families are ever changing; however, we
know the support from Casey’s is steadfast in saving the lives of
those we serve on a daily basis.”
Additionally, Casey’s is offering any size complimentary coffee
or fountain drink to all veterans on Veterans Day - November 11,
2023. Casey’s is extending the same offer year-round to active duty
military personnel and on-duty, uniformed first responders –
including law enforcement, fire and EMS.
"Casey's round-up campaign raised over $1.7M in cumulative
support for Children of Fallen Patriots," said David Kim,
co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Children of Fallen
Patriots. "Thanks to Casey's, we have been able to cover the cost
of a combined 277 years of college funding for our scholars. We're
so incredibly grateful for this partnership and look forward to
this year."
