I
t has been my pleasure to be a part of the National FFA Foundation and its efforts to offer more individuals an opportunity to support the exceptional educational and leadership experiences of FFA members. Corporate America has long been the foundation of these efforts. There are many people who know that FFA has helped develop millions of students and want to be a part of changing lives.In 2007, I was asked to serve as the first chairman of the Individual Giving Council. Our charge is to invite
individuals to contribute to FFA. A very committed and visionary group of leaders agreed to join me in this effort, and I am grateful to be able to work with them. My personal thanks go out to them for the time, talent and dedication they contributed to the formation of this council, as well as to the tireless Foundation staff.
I am pleased to report that in 2007 we experienced a 27% increase in individual giving over 2006. These contributions supported scholarships, proficiencies, career development events and other core programs like The Stars Over America program.
Growth like this testifies to the generosity of those who know and appreciate all that FFA offers.
I believe that individual support is crucial to building a future that provides a new generation of young people prepared to lead in a rapidly changing world. The 2007 theme of Blue Jackets – Bright Futures reflects FFA’s mission of making a positive difference in the lives of students through premier leadership, personal growth and career success. We should all take great pride in our combined efforts to support a new generation of well-rounded citizens.
Thank you for your individual support and your continued dedication to the potential in each member of FFA.
Sincerely,
Charlie Fischer
