INDIANAPOLIS – Individuals across the country can make a difference in the lives of the more than 945,000 FFA members by participating in Give FFA Day during National FFA Week.
Individuals will have an opportunity to support FFA and agricultural education through Give FFA Day on Feb. 22. During the 24 hours of giving, donors can give to the National FFA and the state FFA associations of their choice.
This year, the organization aims to raise $1 million, challenging everyone to contribute throughout the day. With almost a million FFA members, there is a need for sustained funding to provide valuable programs, events, skills training and more; through generous supporters like those who donate on Give FFA Day, FFA members can thrive.
“FFA has been instrumental in growing my skills related to leadership, teamwork and communication,” says Lauren Thornhill, an Ohio state FFA officer. “Donor support makes it possible for students like me to grow and achieve our goals in both a personal and career capacity.”
“Donors at every level ensure we continue to grow the future leaders of agriculture and the world,” says Kimberly Coveney, the annual fund manager for the National FFA Foundation. “Give FFA Day is an opportunity for each FFA supporter to magnify their impact on the lives of young people when they join other donors across the country. Every gift makes a difference, and we are grateful for our donors and their continued support and belief in FFA and agricultural education.”
