A Helping Hand for Habitat: Visit Casey’s, Purchase Pepsi, Support Conservation

Pheasants Forever’s newest partners in conservation – Casey’s General Store and Pepsi – are donating to the organization’s wildlife habitat conservation mission for every bottle of Pepsi sold in Casey’s General Store locations in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31st, 2016. 
 
“With numerous Casey’s General Store locations throughout the Midwest and plenty of thirsty pheasant hunters afield this fall, we encourage all bird hunters to visit Casey’s, purchase Pepsi, and support the wildlife habitat conservation mission of Pheasants Forever,” stated Brad Heidel, director of corporate relations for Pheasants Forever.
 
The imagery of “Pheasant Country” is unparalleled in the world of wingshooting. From the vibrant colors of a fully-plumed rooster to the golden hues of endless prairie – pheasant country is the outdoor life. Casey’s General Store and Pepsi recognize this attribute and have partnered with “The Habitat Organization” to help conserve these images and landscapes for future generations through the donation campaign. Additionally, each corporate supporter will sponsor “Pheasant Country Postcards” – a digital showcase of pheasant hunting imagery – on the organization’s social media channels, bringing the experience of pheasant country to Pheasants Forever members and followers.
 
 “Our partnership with Casey’s General Store and Pepsi really defines the meaning of corporate sustainability,” said Chad Bloom, education and outreach fundraising manager for Pheasants Forever. “As the most efficient conservation group in the country, every purchase will be used to go the distance for habitat, wildlife, and public lands in the Midwest.”
