Casey’s Invites Guests to Round Up During Cash for Classrooms Campaign

Casey’s kicks off annual campaign to benefit K-12 schools in Casey’s 17-state footprint

ANKENY, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.
