AUCTION TO BENEFIT FARMWORKERS’ CHILDREN

A high point of every FFVA convention is the Annual Benefit Auction, sponsored by the Florida Specialty Crop Foundation, which raises funds for a cause important to Florida agriculture and the people and communities that make it possible.

Proceeds generated at this year’s convention in Naples will help the Redlands Christian Migrant Association provide educational opportunities and childcare services for farmworkers’ children.

Bid on silent auction items throughout the day Tuesday, Sept. 23. Items up for auction include original art, fine wine, excursions and tickets to sports event.
