Thanks to the support of our members, teachers, parents, alumni, and industry allies, we have the opportunity to provide our members with their very own jacket. They will have the opportunity to share in the same experiences, that unify our members in a long-standing tradition and reminds them that they are part of something larger than themselves. With generous gifts received, the California FFA Foundation is able to gift jackets to members who would not otherwise be able to own their own jacket.
