Casey’s invites guests to raise funds for two
nonprofit organizations supporting our nation’s heroes
As we enter the season of giving and gratitude, Casey’s thanks
service members, past and present, who have served our country.
Starting on November 6, 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 long supported these two organizations. Hope For The
Warriors is a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring stability,
strength and community for veterans, service members and their
families. Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation provides
scholarships and educational counseling to military children who
have lost a parent in the line of duty.
Casey’s guests can salute our nation’s heroes starting Nov. 6
through Dec. 3 in two ways:
- Round up any in-store purchases at their local Casey’s
- Add a donation to their online orders at Caseys.com to benefit
these nonprofits organizations
“Through our veterans campaign – made possible by the tremendous
generosity of our guests, team members and partners – we’re not
just providing financial support but creating opportunities and
positively impacting veterans, service members and their families,”
said Darren Rebelez, president and CEO of Casey’s, and a veteran of
the United States Army. “Beginning in 2012, we have donated more
than $10 million to these incredible nonprofit organizations. We
are grateful to PepsiCo for their partnership on this campaign and
look forward to offering continued support to the brave men and
women who have given so much to our country.”
On Veterans Day (Nov. 11), Casey’s is offering any size
complimentary coffee or fountain drink to all veterans. 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. Additionally, PepsiCo is partnering with
Casey’s by providing a $25,000 donation.
“PepsiCo and Casey’s share a commitment to support veterans and
their families,” said John Short, president of PepsiCo Beverages
North America Central Division. “Our team is humbled to contribute
to the positive impact of Hope For The Warriors and Children of
Fallen Patriots Foundation. Thank you to Casey’s for continuously
innovating to raise more funds and awareness for these
organizations. And a special thanks to Casey’s guests who choose to
round up at the register and pay tribute to veterans and their
families. We can do more good together!”
Casey’s is committed to making life better for its communities
every day. Thanks to its generous guests and partners, Casey’s can
make a significant impact on veterans, service members and their
families.
“Children of Fallen Patriots has received over $2.3 million from
Casey’s incredible efforts,” said David Kim, co-founder and CEO,
Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. “That equates to nearly 373
years of college for our scholars. Looking ahead, Children of
Fallen Patriots will need over $150 million in the next four years
to support those affected by the severe losses in Iraq and
Afghanistan. These students are now of college age and rely on us
to bridge the gap between government assistance and the actual cost
of their education. This year’s campaign will help us ensure bright
futures for all of them. We remain indebted to everyone at Casey’s
and are ready to make this year's campaign the best one yet.”
“For 12 years, Casey’s has stood shoulder to shoulder with Hope
For The Warriors, championing our military families and raising an
extraordinary $8.6 million to empower them to thrive at home and in
their communities,” said Robin Kelleher, co-founder and CEO of Hope
For The Warriors. “Together, we are steadfast in our mission to
alleviate financial burdens and uplift the well-being of our
veterans. This year, we are witnessing an unprecedented surge in
demand for financial assistance. By rounding up your purchase, you
show your commitment and affirm your vow: HERE FOR VETERANS!”
