Wix Filters, a member of the Affinia Group, has awarded $48,650 to national FFA chapters through a box-top redemption fundraising program.
More than 174,600 Wix box tops were redeemed for 25 cents per top during the program. Students in participating FFA chapters, formerly Future Farmers of America, collected the tops between January and April 2013.
“Our FFA box-top redemption program is one of our most popular fundraising programs of the year because it supports an industry in which we all rely – agriculture,” said Mike Harvey, brand manager for Wix Filters. “Our partnership with the FFA also provides the organization with much-needed funding for the education and training programs that support the industry’s future leaders.”
In addition to the tops collected, five FFA chapters across the U.S. received a $1,000 bonus from Wix.
FFA chapters competed for five $1,000 bonuses in different categories, including most box tops redeemed and most box tops redeemed per member. The five FFA chapters that earned a $1,000 bonus are:
• Sweet Grass Hills FFA, Sunburst, Mont.
• Spud Growers, Coudersport, Pa.
• Harmony FFA, St. Cloud, Fla.
• Caldwell FFS, Caldwell, Ohio
• Seymour FFA, Seymour, Tenn.
