Casey’s is partnering with 4-H and is inviting customers to support local 4-H programs by rounding up purchases from October 1-10 or adding donations to online orders from October 1-November 4. Casey’s will match donations up to $150,000.

Casey’s said this partnership directly benefits programs that help youth develop skills that build confidence and prepare them as future leaders.

“At Casey’s, we want to make a ‘crazy good’ impact in our communities, just like we do at our 2,900 stores serving guests every day. That’s why we’re building upon our partnership with 4-H and inviting our guests to join us and round up their purchase at Casey’s during National 4-H Week,” said Katie Petru, director of PR, communications and community at Casey’s. “By supporting youth development through hands-on learning and mentorship, we’re helping young people build the confidence and skills they need to thrive.”

Last year, Casey's said its partnership with 4-H helped enable:

• More youth development programming in Iowa through 20 mini-grants that allowed young people and volunteers to learn more about 4-H and join the organization.
• Grants in Missouri to fund 4-H special interest clubs that help youth connect with the community and each other for mentorship and leadership opportunities.
• Scholarships that sent 20 Nebraska youth to national conferences in Washington, D.C., to learn about civic engagement and build career-ready skills.
• Sending 220 members from 28 counties in South Dakota to summer camp programs for little to no cost.

In addition, Casey's is “expanding its 4-H youth engagement by doubling the number of local events. Members from eight 4-H chapters will visit their local Casey’s to participate in an interactive curriculum focusing on retail careers. This program offers mentorship, hands-on learning and real-world experience.”
