CHICAGO—Casey’s General Stores in 16 states are supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in September to help children and adults who are living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases. MDA is the largest source of funding for neuromuscular disease research outside of the federal government.
"For more than 10 years, Casey's team members and guests have devoted time to raise vital funds for individuals living with neuromuscular diseases in our communities," said Casey's General Stores President and CEO Darren Rebelez. "We're honored to work together in our communities to help send thousands of children to MDA Summer Camp to learn vital life skills at no cost to families, and to fund research and care for people living with these diseases."
Starting September 1, Casey’s General Stores’ associates at nearly 2,000 stores will ask customers to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar to support MDA. The proceeds will support MDA's 150+ Care Centers at the nation's top hospitals, as well as research and MDA Summer Camps for children ages 8 to 17 living with muscular dystrophy.
Casey’s has supported MDA since 2006 and has raised more than $11 million in the process. In addition to at-the-register donations, Casey’s hosts year-round events like a Muscle Team Dinner and Auction. The work done with MDA has allowed for many far-reaching and groundbreaking achievements to assist those afflicted with muscular dystrophy and their families.
"We are extremely thankful for the generosity of Casey's General Stores team members and their guests who have opened their hearts to fund MDA's mission. This long-standing and far-reaching partnership provides funding for breakthrough treatments and care for families living with neuromuscular diseases," said Lynn O'Connor Vos, MDA’s president and CEO. "It is incredible to see this partnership continue to grow, and we are so appreciative of Casey's efforts."
