Veterans Memorial benefits from Bayer Fund donation
Local farmer Steve Terryberry directed a $2,500 Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation to the Chase County Veterans Memorial.
Since 2010, the America’s Farmers programs have awarded more than $59 million to community non-profits, aspiring ag students and public schools across rural America.
The Grow Communities program asks farmers across the country to participate by nominating nonprofit organizations with resources to strengthen their local communities.
Last August, farmers entered for the chance to direct a $2,500 Grow Communities donation to a local eligible nonprofit of their choice.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone, including those in rural regions, and farmers play a critical role in helping communities overcome challenges, like the ones we’re currently facing,” said Al Mitchell, Bayer Fund president.
He said the Bayer Fund is proud to work side-by-side with farmers to identify organizations that leave a lasting impact.
