Donaldsonville, Louisiana (August 5, 2021) — Sunshine Quality Solutions is pleased to announce its partnership with the New Orleans Saints to hold a community raffle set to benefit the Louisiana FFA Foundation.
This year’s grand prize is a custom New Orleans Saints wrapped John Deere Gator valued at $18,500. Raffle tickets may be purchased online at NewOrleansSaints.com/SunshineSweeps for $10 each. The Raffle winner will be announced at Champions Square on Thursday, December 2, 2021, prior to the Saints vs. Cowboys game at approximately 5 p.m.
"Sunshine is proud to support the work the Louisiana FFA is doing to cultivate a better future for all, by empowering young people to be leaders in agriculture and their communities,” says Rob Richter, CEO of Sunshine. "Many of our employees and customers were proud members of FFA growing up and Sunshine wants to ensure we’re providing opportunities for our youth to benefit from an education involving agriculture. Seeing our youth wear the iconic FFA blue jackets is rewarding knowing they're investing in their future."
Raffle participants do not need to attend the event at Champions Square to win the custom John Deere Gator. Proceeds from the Raffle support the Louisiana FFA Foundation, a student-led organization for young men and women enrolled in agricultural education courses in middle and high schools throughout the state of Louisiana.
“Louisiana FFA is the only organization in our state that focuses solely on preparing students to be the next leaders in agriculture,” says Cade LeJeune, Executive Secretary for the Louisiana FFA. “Agriculture is the world's most important industry. It provides the food and fiber necessary for life in the modern world, and FFA strives to provide instruction and training in 21st century agriculture technology and skills. We are thankful for the investments that Sunshine Quality Solutions and the New Orleans Saints are making in our program because those investments support nearly 11,000 Louisiana FFA members across the state. These members are the future of Louisiana.”
