Thank you for participating in the California
FFA Foundation’s first-ever #GivingTuesday
campaign! 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.
