In-store giving campaign will raise funds for
K-12 schools in the 16 states where Casey’s operates
Casey’s is kicking off its in-store giving campaign to support
America’s future generation of leaders. Starting today through
September 5, Casey’s guests can round up their purchases each time
they visit a Casey’s store and join the cause that has raised $3
million for students, families and educators since 2020.
“Learning is the foundation to sparking curiosity and creating
brighter futures for kids. Through our Cash for Classrooms program,
we’re helping bring meaningful projects and innovative initiatives
to life, in Casey’s communities now and for years to come,” said
Katie Petru, Director, Communications and Community at Casey’s.
“With the generosity of Casey’s guests each year at the register
and our partnership with LIFEWTR, we fuel our mission to help
improve the lives of students and educators in our local
communities.”
Casey’s, together with its generous guests and LIFEWTR, have
raised $1 million annually in the last three years, awarding grants
to more than 250 schools across its 16-state footprint. In 2022, 79
grants were awarded to K-12 public and nonprofit, private schools
in 75 Casey’s communities.
The funding priorities through the program include projects
supporting physical improvements, material needs, teacher support
and community engagement initiatives in Casey’s communities. Cash
for Classroom grants help drive positive change, including:
- Better reading resources: St. Francis Area Schools in
Minnesota received a $10,000 grant to provide take-home decodable
books to foster enthusiasm and develop better reading skills for
its students.
- Building foundations with modern technology: Athens
Community School District in Illinois received $20,000 to provide
their fourth-grade students with new smartboards, helping their
students build foundational skills for life-long technological
literacy.
- Making enrichment and learning accessible: Bonnie Grimes
Elementary School in Arkansas received a $50,000 grant to purchase
and install an all-inclusive, ADA accessible playground, giving
students of all abilities the opportunity to interact and play with
their peers at school.
- Expanding minds and facilities: Riverfield Country Day
School in Oklahoma received a $10,000 grant to expand and better
facilities for their arts and athletics programs, meeting the needs
of its growing student population.
Every dollar raised by Casey’s guests helps provide funds for
schools located in Casey’s communities across 16 states. Learn more
