Manna Pro Products, LLC, a St. Louis-based manufacturer and marketer of pet care and nutrition, announces that it is extending its partnership with 4-H, committing an additional $100K over the next two years to help equip all youth with the essential skills they need to succeed in life and career, no matter their circumstances.
“Manna Pro’s mission of Nurturing Life aligns perfectly with 4-H’s commitment to empowering youth with the skills they need to lead in life and career,” said Amanda Terbrock, senior brand manager, Manna Pro. “4-H youth across the country are the future of the animal care and agricultural industry. It’s important, now more than ever, during a time of uncertainty, to support 4-H and allow them the resources they need to reach more youth across the country via new platforms.”
As part of the partnership, Manna Pro will donate $1 to National 4-H Council for every $1 coupon used on select Manna Pro products from Feb. 1 through Aug. 31, with a minimum $50,000 match donation guaranteed in 2021.
The company also launched its Calling All Champions campaign to celebrate future 4-H champions and provide consumers additional ways to support 4-H. The campaign includes an Instagram photo contest featuring weekly giveaways. Additionally, consumers can support 4-H with a $15 minimum donation to receive an animal-themed box filled with goodies and coupons valued at $50. All donations will support 4-H’s mission of closing the opportunity gap for all young people, especially as the pandemic continues to disrupt essential learning experiences for over 55 million school-aged youth in the U.S.
“Manna Pro’s continued investment is important to ensure 4-H’s capacity to create and deliver hands-on learning opportunities and support for all young people,” said Heather Elliott, vice president, development, National 4-H Council. “Having support from an industry leader such as Manna Pro helps equip young people with important life skills such as responsibility, compassion and leadership to move forward and reach their full potential.”
For over 100 years, 4-H has led the charge to empower young people across the U.S. through experiences that develop critical life skills and inspire them to improve the world around us. Many 4-H’ers and their communities have stayed resilient through the ongoing crisis, which has impacted their participation in county and state fairs across the country.
“As the pandemic continues to evolve, it is difficult to predict how this upcoming show season will unfold,” said Elliott. “We’re grateful to all the 4-H educators, alumni, volunteers and our partners like Manna Pro for stepping up to support our young people regardless of the circumstances and foster a community of belonging.”
Manna Pro is an official 2021 and 2022 4-H corporate partner.
