Blue Diamond Growers
Partners with
California FFA for Global Day of Giving
On Tuesday, November 28,
Blue Diamond
Growers
partnered with the California FFA
Foundation to celebrate Giving Tuesday, a
global day of giving.
Blue Diamond
matched every FFA jacket donation
up to 230 jackets, significantly aiding the California FFA Foundation in
reaching their 400 jacket goal. This investment helps the future of the
agriculture industry and the 88,000 members of the California FFA.
“
Blue Diamond Growers
is excited to partner with the California FFA
Foundation to help provide FFA members with jackets,” said Dan
Cummings, Chairman of the Board for
Blue Diamond Growers
.
“Ensuring the future of agriculture in
California is more important than
ever and this partnership helps
build the next generation of leaders
in our agriculture industry.”
The iconic blue corduroy jacket
is FFA’s most recognized symbol.
It provides unity among the FFA
members in California’s 330 high
school chapters, and reminds them
they a part of something bigger. FFA
provides students with opportunities
for premier leadership, personal
growth and career success. Through
their experiences in agricultural
education and FFA, they are
exposed to the breadth of career
opportunities available to them
within the agriculture industry.
Giving Tuesday proved a success
for the
Blue Diamond
and California
FFA Foundation partnership as
nearly $45,000 – or 600 jackets –
was raised.
