November 7: Katie Petru and Tom Brennan

Representing more than 50,000 dedicated team members and 2,900 stores across 19 states, Tom Brennan, Chief Merchandising Officer, and Katie Petru, Director of Communications & Community, were nominated as Leaders of the Pack by Casey's. Casey's is more than just a convenience store — it's a cornerstone of communities where neighbors know each other by name and show up when matters most.

Driven by their purpose to make life better for their communities and guests every day, Casey's gave back in a big way last year: along with their guests, teams, and supplies, Casey's donated $6.6 million to support core needs in local communities, including thousands in Central Iowa.

This November, Casey's guests can continue that tradition of giving by rounding up at the register in their local Casey's store, all in support of our military veterans and their families. This annual campaign raised $1.2 million last year and has contributed over $11 million since 2012.
