CONVENTION AUCTION PROCEEDS AGAIN GO TO RCMA

FFVA has once again chosen Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA) as beneficiary of both the silent and live auctions at the 62nd Annual Convention. The money raised will benefit RCMA's education and healthcare programs geared to children of migrant farmworkers. Two years ago, the auctions and related donations raised $71,000 for the organization, which was matched by federal and state funds $16 to $1 for a total of over $1 million.

This year's convention, themed Survivor - Outgrow, Outmarket, Outperform - That's How to Win in Florida Agriculture, will be held September 25-27 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate. To register, click here or call (321) 214-5200.
