Casey’s Cash for Classrooms Grant Distributed to Loyola Catholic School in Mankato
Through the Cash for Classrooms program, Casey’s is awarding $900,000 in grants to 80 public and nonprofit, private schools across 17 states.
The annual Cash for Classrooms program provides grants of up to $50,000 to support physical improvements to school buildings and playgrounds, requests for books and educational materials, and community engagement and extracurricular activities. Since 2020, more than 400 grants totaling nearly $5 million have been awarded to schools across Casey’s Country.
“At Casey’s, we’re all about delivering the unexpected to our guests and local communities. One of the most important ways we do that is through the financial support we provide to schools through our Cash for Classrooms program,” said Katie Petru, Director of Communications & PR at Casey’s. “Casey’s is dedicated to supporting schools, teachers and students and helping the next generation prepare for a bright future. We appreciate the generosity of our guests, team members and partners who enable us to make a positive impact.”
Loyola Catholic School in Mankato will receive $5,000 to help fund the junior class trip to Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center next fall. Wolf Ridge is an accredited residential environmental school with a mission “to develop a citizenry that has the knowledge, skills, motivation, and commitment to work together for a quality environment.” Schools in Moorhead, Zumbrota and St. Cloud are also receiving grants.
Cash for Classrooms grant applications will reopen in the fall of 2025. To learn more about Cash for Classrooms, visit www.caseys.com/community.
