Show your FFA spirit: Wisconsin FFA Foundation offers token of thanks to supporters

The Wisconsin FFA Foundation is offering a tool to show supporter pride for Wisconsin FFA.  Any Wisconsin FFA supporter – corporate or individual – who donates $10 or more to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation can receive a window cling to highlight their commitment to the organization.

The new method of highlighting support was first launched during the Wisconsin FFA Convention in Madison, Wis., June 11-14. Wisconsin agricultural educators also were presented with the opportunity during the 95^th Professional Development Conference of the Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators, Inc. from June 25-28 in Green Bay, Wis.

The window clings are available to supporters through the Wisconsin FFA Foundation for a minimum $10 donation.

Foundation funding directly supports the future of the Wisconsin Association of FFA and its members through award checks, travel stipends, scholarships, Supervised Agricultural Experience grants and state officer support. The Wisconsin FFA Foundation also funds state-level programming opportunities that support local chapters and members including: leadership conferences, award programs and contests, convention activities and state officer training.

To donate to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation and to receive a symbol of your support, please contact the Wisconsin FFA Foundation at (608) 831-5058 or info@wisconsinffafoundation.org, or commit a donation to this campaign at www.wisconsinffafoundation.org. Any donor pledging $10 or more as a cash donation will receive a window cling that illustrates their support of Wisconsin FFA.

“This is an opportunity for us to show our support of a program that prepares students for a vibrant future,” says Nicole Nelson, Wisconsin FFA Foundation executive director. “Through Wisconsin FFA, students develop skills and confidence that help them to succeed in their agriculture careers and throughout their lives. Our support is a vital part of that equation and makes a significant difference in the experiences of all FFA members.”

The Wisconsin FFA Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) organization, unites individuals, organizations and companies who share a common interest in the advancement of agriculture and community leadership through FFA. You can support today’s FFA members by supporting the programs that have been core tenets of the FFA: proficiency awards, career development events, state FFA degrees, sectional leadership workshops, scholarships, chapter awards, agri-science fair, state FFA convention and state officer support.
