Last year, we gave a total of $77,000 to 31 organizations across Western Canada through the Clean Fields, Community Yields program. Local retailers chose the charity and then we made a donation based on the number of acres of FMC fall herbicide sprayed in their area. Together we did a lot of good.
But it didn’t end there. We asked you to choose which charity should receive a $5,000 bonus donation. The Kale Porteous Memorial Splash Park in Bow Island won by a landslide. Kale was only 11 years old when he passed away in 2018. The money went to a really good cause.
Let's do it again
Our communities still need help. Your local retailer knows where our money could make a big impact. Spray an FMC fall herbicide before October 31, and we’ll make another donation to a worthy cause in your town. Every acre adds to the gift.
