F FOUNDATION

After last year’s success in raising over $20,000 for the National Grange Junior and Youth Departments, the Grange Foundation is set to party again with the 2022 Virtual Telethon. This year, a “fiesta” is set for July 9, with National Junior Grange Director Samantha Wilkins and National Grange Youth and Young Adults Director Mandy Bostwick at the helm of the 8-hour long event.

“Come prepared to party,” Wilkins says, “We are going to have a lot of fun with the ‘fiesta’ theme, as we raise much-needed funds to support the Junior and Youth activities at the National Grange level.”

Bostwick encourages Grange members and supporters to make their donations early, but to not miss out on the live event. “We are excited to show off the incredible work that is being done by Junior Grange and Youth members across the country. From talent to testimonials to interviews with National Grange officers who have gone through the programs, we are going to have a jam-packed day.”

The Grange Foundation is seeking sponsorships from local Granges, individuals and corporations, as seen on the opposite page.

“We would be grateful for your support,” Wilkins says, “each donation goes directly to bolstering the work done by our departments, ensuring a strong future for the Grange at all levels.” Funds raised from sponsorships and through the live telethon will go toward scholarship opportunities, program development, opportunities for training in leadership, legislation, and more.

Mark your calendars now for this year’s telethon, which will be broadcast live on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.

“You won’t want to miss it,” Bostwick adds.

This year’s telethon goal is again $20,000, which will be split evenly between the Youth and Junior Funds at the Grange Foundation.
