Casey traveled to Kuwait in December 2011 as part of the Eagles Cheerleaders Goodwill Military Tour, which was designed to entertain and boost the morale of U.S. military servicemen and women. She and five other members of the squad performed dance routines as well as meet-and-greet autograph sessions for the soldiers.
"It was absolutely incredible, I still think about it all the time."

Casey, a West Chester University graduate, models for fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer. In 2013, she represented the Eagles cheerleaders at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
At the conclusion of the fashion show, fans lined up to meet their favorite cheerleader and have their calendars signed.
The 2016 calendar photoshoot took place in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
The calendar may be purchased at Philadelphia Eagles Pro Shops, online at store.philadelphiaeagles.com and bookstores.
A portion of the calendar's proceeds will be donated to the Elmwood Park Zoo, which is home to Noah, a live bald eagle that makes special appearances throughout the year at various Eagles events, including home games.
