FFA students are gifted large hay donation from a marketing campaign.
Zoetis made a unique donation valued at more than $14,000 to benefit FFA members in Wisconsin this fall. Zoetis donated large square bales of alfalfa/grass mix hay used as part of a marketing campaign video shoot near Cedarburg, WI, to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation. Collaborating with the foundation’s Executive Director, Abigail Quinlin, local Wisconsin FFA chapters will be able to put the hay to good use.
Commitment to Agricultural Leaders
The Wisconsin FFA Foundation benefitted from the location of the video shoot and the desire to keep transportation costs low. Zoetis is proud to partner with organizations like the Wisconsin FFA Foundation in making a difference in the lives of agricultural students.
The donated hay will be distributed to local chapters, free of charge, for students and chapters to use for their animals, both in the classroom and for Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects. The Wisconsin FFA Foundation supports FFA members through scholarships, grants and providing partnership funding for leadership activities. Contributions like this one are unique but are still valuable to members and their projects by creating a hands-on learning experience in agricultural sciences.
“With our long history of supporting FFA, Zoetis is happy that this donation could be put to immediate use by Wisconsin FFA students and chapters,” said Clint Mefford, U.S. head of livestock communications. “Whether through our FFA Industry Support program, or in-kind donations like this, Zoetis believes in the FFA mission.”
“The Wisconsin FFA Foundation is grateful to Zoetis for the opportunity to receive an in-kind gift of hay bales that will be going to local chapters,” Quinlan said. “This donation demonstrates Zoetis’ commitment to serving those involved in agriculture and ensuring the materials used during marketing campaigns are able to support their sustainability mission.”
