WIX Filters Donates to National FFA Chapters

WIX Filters awarded $34,160 to national FFA chapters in the United States through a box-top redemption program in partnership with the National FFA Organization.

“Our FFA box-top program is an annual success due to the participation of auto parts stores, shops, local agribusinesses and individuals who purchase WIX Filters in support of their local FFA organizations,” said Mike Harvey, brand manager for WIX Filters. “It is one of WIX’s most popular and successful fundraising programs, and we’re thrilled our partnership with FFA will enter its 29th year in 2015.”

Between Jan. and April 2014, students in participating FFA chapters redeemed 116,640 WIX box tops for a donation from WIX of $29,160, or 25 cents per box top. In addition, five FFA chapters across the country each received a $1,000 bonus from WIX, bringing the total donation to $34,160.

As part of the program’s incentives, FFA chapters competed for five $1,000 bonuses in different categories, including most box tops redeemed overall and most box tops redeemed per member. The five FFA chapters that earned a $1,000 bonus were:

Cheney FFA, Cheney, Wash.
Centennial FFA, Utica, Neb.
Dade County FFA, Dade City, Fla.
West Central Area FFA, Barrett, Minn.
Chamberlain FFA, Tampa, Fla.

GRI recently conducted programs in Sri Lanka to empower women and motivate children under its Green x Circle initiative. The company said these endeavors aimed to address the needs of the community, focusing on both women empowerment and youth motivation.

GRI recently organized a training program titled "Management of household finance under current economic conditions" at the Ingiriya Rubber Collecting Center in Sri Lanka, South Asia led by Shashika Nimali, an NLP practitioner and life coach. The company said this initiative provided women in the industry with essential skills and knowledge to effectively manage household finances. GRI's tailored training sessions equipped participants with tools for informed decision-making, ultimately fostering greater financial security and independence, the company said.
