The two companies were able to raise over $2.2 million dollars for Special Olympics Ohio by making donating easy when checking out and including proceeds from each 20 ounce Coca-Cola drink and pizza slice combo sold.

Local Special Olympic athletes and other organization representatives were at the check presentation to accept the donation from Casey’s General Store staff.
