Redline Equipment Supports FFA Programs in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan
Redline Equipment is proud to support the FFA by providing more than $17,000 to support various career development programs and scholarships in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.
Redline Equipment donations will provide funds that will support state and national leadership conference scholarships, state camp attendance, career development events and proficiency awards in Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems.
“Redline Equipment and its employees are proud to support the FFA foundation in its efforts to focus on skill development and career preparation in agriculture,” said Zach Hetterick, Chief Executive Officer at Redline Equipment. “These students represent the future of agriculture in this country and the world in grain and livestock production, and it’s our responsibility to support them in their career goals.”
The majority of these funds were raised through Redline Equipment’s annual Parts Days sale. When customers purchased a $1,000 or more in parts, the dealership committed to donating $50 for each order, to their local FFA.
“We are very thankful for Redline Equipment and their customers,” Jessica Parrish, Executive Director of the Ohio FFA Foundation said. “This money will help provide transformational experiences for students that otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity to attend life-changing leadership conferences.”
Partnerships with organizations like Redline Equipment can help prepare students for a variety of careers in agriculture, including business, science, food safety and security, and production.
“Indiana FFA is focused on providing support for leadership programs that are essential to the success of our organization in developing our members,” Lisa Chaudion, Executive Director, Indiana FFA Foundation said. “Thank you to Redline Equipment for investing in the future of agriculture and the Indiana FFA!”
Redline Equipment does more than just support the FFA financially. Redliners use their time and talents to support FFA members. They serve as judges for contest and mentor students who are participating in proficiency contests. The dealership also allows use of their facilities and equipment as learning tools.
