In-store giving campaign will raise funds for
K-12 schools across Casey’s communities
Today, Casey’s kicks off a giving campaign to help fund grants
for local schools across 16 states. Casey’s is asking guests to
round up their purchases to help fund its annual Cash for
Classrooms Grant Program which provides funds for projects and
initiatives that benefit K-12 public and nonprofit, private
schools.
“Schools are at the heart of each of our communities, like
Casey’s, and we are honored to be able to support students,
teachers and families through the Cash for Classrooms Grant
Program. We encourage our guests to join forces with Casey’s and
Keurig Dr Pepper by rounding up when shopping in our stores or
purchasing the CORE combo during this campaign,” Megan Elfers,
President, Casey’s Charities.
There are two additional ways guests can donate to this year’s
campaign:
- Keurig Dr Pepper will donate $1 for every 3/$5 combo of CORE
Hydration water purchased, up to $25,000; and
- Casey’s will donate $1 for every large pizza purchase completed
on Monday, August 30, up to $100,000.
In 2021, Casey’s Cash for Classrooms Grant Program awarded $1
million to benefit schools through 99 grants. The funding
priorities included physical improvements, material needs, teacher
support and community engagement initiatives. Learn more about the
program and the following projects at our blog - Giving Back As We
Head Back to School:
- South Adams Schools’ Innovation Lab for robotics;
- Updated equipment for Ballard High School’s re-established
welding program; and
- An entire summer's worth of books for Carl Traeger Elementary
School students.
“After a very challenging school year, being able to send every
child home with new books for their home library because of Casey’s
grant was a heartwarming experience,” said Heather Branson, Grade 3
Teacher at Carl Traeger Elementary School in Oshkosh, Wis. “There
were so many things I couldn’t change about last year, but the
ability to send every child off for summer vacation equipped to
enjoy new books empowered my students to see themselves as readers
even after our year together ended.”
Every dollar raised will go toward this year’s Cash for
Classrooms Grant Program, which opens its application process on
October 1 through November 30, 2021. Grant requests may range from
$3,000 to $50,000.
