Casey’s kicks off annual campaign to benefit
K-12 schools in Casey’s 17-state footprint
Today, Casey’s announced the start of the annual giving campaign
to support education. Through September 3, Casey’s invites guests
to round up their purchases at the register or make donations when
ordering online, benefiting its Cash for Classrooms Grant Program.
This initiative helps fund grants for K-12 public and nonprofit,
private schools in Casey’s Country.
“Casey’s is here to make a positive impact in our communities
and for guests who visit our stores every day. Our guests’
generosity helps us provide grants to local schools across Casey’s
Country,” said Katie Petru, Director of Communications and
Community at Casey’s. “Guests can round up their purchases every
time they shop at Casey’s, which means getting your favorite pizza,
daily fountain drink or on-the-go snack is an opportunity to give
back.”
Thanks to Casey’s generous guests and support from supplier
partners like LIFEWTR, Casey’s has raised more than $4 million for
students and educators. Each year, Casey’s awards grants up to
$50,000 to schools, and since 2020, more than 300 schools across
its 17-state footprint have benefited from the program.
Casey’s is committed to supporting education – preparing
children for a bright future and helping create a skilled
workforce. Cash for Classrooms grants support physical
improvements, material needs, teacher support and community
engagement initiatives. In 2024, 60 grants were distributed to K-12
public and nonprofit, private schools in Casey’s Country,
including:
- Better and more accessible equipment: Burlingame Public
School in Kansas, Oliver Springs Elementary School in Arkansas and
Richards Elementary in Missouri all received funding to improve
their playground structures.
- Building foundations for bright futures: Central High
School in Tennessee received funding to create a College and Career
Center, providing students with dedicated space to plan their
futures.
