In-store giving campaign will raise funds for
Hope For The Warriors and Children of Fallen Patriots
Today through Nov. 30, Casey’s is asking its guests to be Here
For Good by saluting all service members, past and present, and
their families by rounding up their purchases to benefit Hope For
The Warriors (HOPE) and Children of Fallen Patriots.
Casey’s partners with Children of Fallen Patriots to provide
assistance, resources and scholarships to military children who’ve
lost a parent in the line of duty. Since 2012, Casey’s has worked
with Hope For The Warriors to help service members and their
families restore a sense of self, family and hope through
comprehensive support programs.
“Casey’s and its guests are proud to support our nation’s heroes
and their families,” said Darren Rebelez, CEO of Casey’s, and
veteran of the United States Army. “Last year our guests joined us
in saluting the men and women who have served this great country by
raising over $1.4 million for these two extraordinary
organizations. As a veteran, I am humbled each year by the
generosity of our guests and am proud of the good Casey’s and its
guests spread to our service members and their families.”
There are two additional ways guests can donate to this year’s
campaign:
- Make it a Hero Deal: Purchase the Casey’s Share Pack Meal and
when you add a 2 liter Pepsi® product, $1 will be donated to the
campaign, up to $25,000 from PepsiCo.
- Share using #HereForVets: $1 will be donated each time the
#HereForVets hashtag is used on Twitter or Instagram during the
month of November, up to $100,000 from Casey’s.
“Pepsi is honored to stand together with Casey’s in support of
the military heroes who have served and protected our country,”
said Neil Pryor, President, PepsiCo Beverages North America,
Central Division. “Through our annual PepsiCo Rolling Remembrance
relay, we are proud to have raised over $1.2 million for the
Children of Fallen Patriots organization over the past six years
and will continue to support veterans across the Heartland and
beyond alongside such dedicated partners like Casey’s."
Casey’s, with the help of its generous guests, donated over $1.4
million to help veterans and their families last year. One service
member impacted was Burlington, Iowa, native, Nick Guernsey. From
1997 to 2009, Nick served in the United States Army and U.S. Army
Reserve. Learn more about Nick and other veterans impacted across
Casey’s 16-state footprint in our blog.
“Hope For The Warriors is a long-time community partner in
Casey’s efforts to support veterans,” said Robin Kelleher,
president and CEO of Hope For The Warriors. “Our partnership has
grown stronger every year, and now HOPE actively serves 4,279
warriors in Casey’s communities. Casey’s was Here For Good last
year when our world turned upside down, and the pandemic challenged
our military families beyond their current situations. Because of
Casey’s support, 501 new individuals in Casey’s neighborhoods found
HOPE through our life-transforming programs and services.”
David Kim, CEO and Founder of Children of Fallen Patriots,
added, “Children of Fallen Patriots is honored to be a beneficiary
of Casey’s Here For Veterans Campaign. In 2020, Casey’s and its
guests raised a total of $700,000 for Children of Fallen Patriots,
which provided over 110 years of education to the children of our
country’s fallen heroes. We are so grateful for our partnership
with Casey’s and are looking forward to being Here For Good by
providing these deserving students scholarships in 2022.”
As an added salute, Casey’s encourages all service members past
and present to visit Casey’s on Veterans Day, Nov. 11 to receive a
free cup of coffee.
