In six years of supporting Hope For The Warriors, Casey’s General Stores have raised more than $3.9 million.
Casey’s General Stores raised more than $670,000 for Hope For The Warriors through its annual dog tag campaign.
Hope For The Warriors is a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, family and hope for veterans, service members and military families.
During the month of November, customers of Casey’s General Stores purchased $1 dog tags that were displayed throughout the store. Collective efforts from the more than 1,900 stores located in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin raised $672,451.04.
Through an additional in-store campaign, a $15,000 donation from MillerCoors was also included in the donation.
Funds will benefit veterans, service members and military families through a variety of programming including transition services, clinical health and wellness, sports and recreation and community development and engagement.
“At Casey’s, we have a profound sense of gratitude for those who have served their county and we are proud to be partnered with such an incredible organization,” said Jay Soupene, senior vice president, operations. “Hope For The Warriors is completely dedicated to supporting our service members and their families. This is our opportunity to give back to those who have given so much in the defense of our great nation.”
