Veggie U Selected as a Charity Recipient of Golf Classic

MILAN – Prominent leaders in both the corporate and non-profit worlds came together at the recent Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic tournament's annual charity luncheon. Veggie U was invited to be among these leaders.
At the luncheon, $315,000 was distributed to Northwest Ohio children’s charities as a result of the 2010 LPGA golf tournament.

“What an amazing display of generosity,” said Molly Reams-Thompson, director of development for Veggie U.
During the luncheon, leaders announced Veggie U as a beneficiary of the upcoming 2011 U.S. Senior Open Championship being hosted by the Inverness Club (July 25-31.) 
“This is a huge honor for us,” said Bob Jones, Sr., executive director of Veggie U. “This sort of funding will make such a huge impact on placing more Veggie U Earth to Table Science kits in classrooms all over the region. 
“We have so much appreciation and gratitude for the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic charitable foundation for how much they will be helping kids in the Toledo area.”
The mission of Veggie U is to promote the well-being of children through a healthy lifestyle.
