Casey’s is partnering with 4-H to give back during National Pizza Month. Across the company’s footprint, there are more than 2.5 million active 4-H members.

“Casey’s and 4-H are a great match as we make life better in communities across the heart of America, whether it’s the surprise and delight of family pizza night or helping 4-H have a bigger impact on the students’ career readiness,” said Katie Petru, director of communications and community at Casey’s. “We are thrilled to partner with 4-H to provide young people with the skill-building opportunities they need to be confident future leaders.”

Now through November 5, Casey’s is inviting its guests to support the partnership with 4-H and celebrate National Pizza Month in two ways:

  • With the purchase of every large pizza, Casey’s will donate $1 to 4-H programs in Casey’s Country (up to $100,000).
  • By adding a donation to their online orders to benefit local 4-H programs in their community.

In addition to the donation, 4-H youth in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Bowling Green, Kentucky; Kansas City, Missouri; and Knoxville, Tennessee will visit Casey’s locations to learn more about what it means to work in retail and how to make Casey’s pizza. This builds on Casey’s commitment to support education initiatives and provide young people with mentorship, hands-on learning, and insight into retail career opportunities.

“Our partnership with Casey’s perfectly aligns with our mission to amplify youths’ voices, equip them with career-ready skills, and offer real-world experiences so kids can conquer today’s challenges and shape tomorrow’s world,” said Heather Elliott, chief development and marketing officer for 4-H.

Earlier this week, Casey’s announced it 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.

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.
