Where We Give

The National Future Farmers of America – Todd and Julie both were members of their local chapters of FFA and earned their State Farmers Degrees. Todd went on to earn his American Farmer Degree. This organization gave to them and they choose to give back to it to improve the future of rural America. They are fortunate enough to have Jill Mason Wagner, Todd’s sister, who is the State Relations Specialist at the National FFA Organization. She may not have direct oversight over funding but it gives them further confidence in their donations. You can donate directly at www.ffa.org.

4-H Foundation – 4-H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. Todd and Julie both also started their agriculture organization membership as grade school 4-Hers. 4-H instilled in them leadership, character, citizenship, public speaking, teamwork and many more attributes too numerous to count. It gave them a firm foundation. If you are not familiar with the 4-H pledge it says it all. “I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to great loyalty, my hands for larger service and my health for better living.” That truly has clearly summed up how Todd and Julie try to live. They consider their giving back to be a service to the organization. They both also volunteer throughout the year to their local 4-H and FFA programs. To give directly go to www.4-h.org.

Changing Lives Together

Savannah Station Therapeutic Riding Program – Savannah Station Therapeutic Riding Program’s mission is to offer Hope and Healing to people with special needs through the amazing power of the horse.
