Casey’s has dedicated the month of November to showing gratitude for the service and sacrifice of United States veterans and active-duty service members. From now until November 28, Casey’s is inviting customers 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 and Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation.
“Service members, both past and present, have given so much to our country. Last year, our guests helped us make a significant impact on these brave men and women by raising more than $1 million for these two nonprofit organizations,” said Darren Rebelez, president and CEO of Casey’s and a veteran of the United States Army. “We are grateful for PepsiCo’s continued partnership on this campaign and appreciate the sincere generosity of our guests and team members through this annual opportunity to give back in a meaningful way.”
To date, Casey’s has donated $8 million to veterans, service members and their families through its in-store round-up campaigns. As a part of the campaign, PepsiCo will make a donation of $25,000.
“PepsiCo is honored to partner with Casey’s in our continued support of the military heroes who have served and protected our country,” said Tameka McBride, senior vice president of commercial, PepsiCo beverages North America, central division. “Through our annual PepsiCo Rolling Remembrance relay and Casey’s annual giving campaign, we are proud to raise funds for organizations that support veterans and their families across our communities.”
Additionally, Casey’s is offering any size complimentary coffee or fountain drink to all veterans on Veterans Day, November 11. Casey’s is extending the same offer year-round to active-duty military personnel and on-duty, uniformed first responders—including law enforcement, firefighters and EMS.
For Veterans Day, the Pilot Company is offering military service members and their families a complimentary meal at over 750 participating Pilot, Flying J and One9 Fuel Network travel centers nationwide. The company is also inviting guests to round up and raise funds for the Call of Duty Endowment, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting veterans in transitioning to successful civilian careers post-military service.
