Casey’s donated $1 million to Iowa Confluence Water Trails (ICON), a “transformative quality-of-life” initiative that is aiming to connect 150 miles of water trails across the region.

“At Casey’s, we are here to help make our communities great places to live, work, play, and explore. Central Iowa is full of unexpected outdoor recreation benefits, and we are proud to be part of ICON Water Trails through our support of the Center Street site,” Darren Rebelez, president and CEO of Casey’s, said in a press release.

With the donation, Casey’s will receive naming rights for an overlook to be built on ICON’s Center Street site, which will be known as Casey’s Scenic Overlook.

“We are incredibly grateful to Casey’s and its dedication to our community, its employees, and customers, who all benefit from ICON and its amenities,” Stephanie Oppel, ICON Water Trails executive director, said. “The private sector in our region is truly exceptional, and it’s because of partners like Casey’s that we’re able to bring this project to fruition.”
