Giving the Gift of Blue for Blue Diamond’ s Giving Tuesday Match Benefiting FFA
On Tuesday, November 29, 2022, Blue Diamond Growers acted as a matching sponsor for Giving Tuesday for the California FFA Foundation. California FFA Foundation designates Giving Tuesday to raise funds for the iconic blue jackets for students who may not be able to afford one. For every $85 donated, you can gift a California FFA member with their very own jacket, tie or scarf. A jacket with their name will open doors and empower them to pursue the opportunities FFA and the agricultural industry provides them. As a partner to FFA, Blue Diamond matched donations up to $25,000 — that’s 294 jackets! “This is our sixth Giving Tuesday raising funds to give the Gift of Blue. Working with Blue Diamond Growers ,
the world’s leading almond brand, we’ve raised more than $314,000 and provided 4,126 jackets to FFA members throughout California,” shared Emily Rooney, President, Agricultural Council of California and California FFA Foundation Chair. “It’s rewarding to see our alumni and industry come together to make a difference for the next generation of the agriculture industry.” Even after Giving Tuesday concludes, you may still donate to help FFA students purchase their jackets. Let’s give every FFA member the chance to be part of the tradition.
Ensuring a sustainable future for agriculture is a priority for Blue Diamond Growers and we are proud of the impact our partnership with FFA has been able to make over the years. FFA is a world-class organization and by encouraging greater participation in Giving Tuesday, we are investing in the next generation of ag leaders and a bright, reliable future for California agriculture. —Dan Cummings, Board Chairman for Blue Diamond Growers
