Casey’s General Store Raises $1.5 Million to Help Send Kids to MDA Summer Camp

Casey’s General Store locations and customers in its 14-state area rallied together to raise a record $1,527,208 million during the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Summer Camp pinup program to help kids fighting muscular dystrophy and related life-threatening diseases experience a week of fun and friendship at MDA Summer Camp — all at no cost to their families.

From Aug. 1 to Sept. 5, Casey’s General Store and its associates sold pinups for $1 and $5 contributions to MDA, with the goal of helping send more than 1,900 local kids to MDA Summer Camp through their local office locations. This year’s pinups also included a “buy two, get one free” coupon for 7UP products.

Casey’s General Store has raised more than $8 million since 2006 in support of MDA’s shared mission to find treatments and cures for people whose abilities to move have been compromised by neuromuscular disease – including everyday abilities like walking, running, hugging, talking and even breathing.

In addition to summer camp pinup sales, Casey’s contributions from year-round local events help support MDA families, including the Casey’s General Store Muscle Team Dinner & Auction held on Nov. 2, 2016. Casey’s employees regularly participate in MDA Lock-Up events and also are involved in providing activities and volunteering at MDA Summer Camps across the Midwest.
