Virtual 'Black Ties Blue Jackets' FFA fundraiser sets records

Congratulations to everyone at the Iowa FFA for a job well done. Here is how it went down, in the world of the Foundation Executive Director Josh Remington:

Proud, honored, fortunate, grateful – I struggle today to express my overwhelming gratitude for each and every one of you who were able to join us at our Seventh Annual Black Ties Blue Jackets gala on Saturday. When we first had an idea to celebrate FFA week with a fundraiser event, we had dreams of achieving what was fulfilled the past couple years. This year, in the face of all adversity of a pandemic of global scale, you helped us do something many said was not possible – raising more than $98,000! And yes, if anyone wants to help us break that $100,000 goal, we are still accepting donations on our event platform https://e.givesmart.com/events/hjo/

While many organizations in the non-profit world have had their event results significantly reduced or even cut in half – you stepped up in a big way to plant a stake in the ground and exclaim “I BELIEVE in the future of agriculture. With a faith born, not of words, but of deeds!” I am so proud of what we have been able to do together. I am honored you have entrusted us with your investments, we are beyond fortunate to have such loyal and dedicated partners and above all – I am grateful for YOU, because of YOU and your investment, the next generation of agricultural leaders has a bright future.

Thank you so much! 

Sincerely,

Josh
