FVA AUCTIONS OFFER SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIGRANT FARMWORKERS’ CHILDREN

The 8th annual Benefit Auction, sponsored by the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Research & Education Foundation and Citrus & Vegetable magazine, will make it easier for the children of farmworkers to attend college. A total of $25,955 was raised September 19 for the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Research and Education Migrant Scholarship Fund, which will provide scholarships to college students who are the sons and daughters of migrant or seasonal workers.

The Benefit Auction is held each year during FFVA’s Annual Convention.
