Help support the California FFA Foundation

In an effort to support the California FFA organization, the Almond Board of California each year conducts a silent auction over the duration of the three-day event. In its fifth year, the event strives to raise money for the California FFA Foundation to fund scholarships for high school students who plan to attend college and pursue an agriculture-related degree.

Since its inception with the help of industry support, we have raised more than $20,000.
The 2016 Almond Leadership Program participants, eager to support this cause, have developed two new opportunities to provide support to the foundation.

One new opportunity is the establishment of a fund-raising website for companies or individuals who would prefer to make a monetary contribution rather than donate an auction item. These donations can be made anytime and go straight to the California FFA Foundation. To make a donation, visit CalAgEd.org/Foundation.

Additionally, for the first time, a live auction will be incorporated into the conference. The auction will include larger ticket items and will take place at the annual Gala Dinner on Dec. 8. Contact Rebecca Bailey at rbailey@almondboard.com or (209) 343-3245 with questions.

This year’s dinner will include family-style table seating to allow for a relaxing, conversational ambience. Following dinner, the traditional program of presentations and awards will be followed by a live auction supporting the California FFA Foundation.
