During its annual National Sales Meeting, Zoetis and Folds of Honor celebrated a successful first year with a $218,000 donation from Zoetis based upon fourth quarter 2022 sales of select Zoetis products. This brings the total donation from Zoetis to $705,000 for Folds of Honor based on sales of select Zoetis products in 2022.
Based in Owasso, Oklahoma, Folds of Honor provides academic scholarships to the spouses and children of men and women who have fallen or been disabled while serving in the U.S. armed forces or as first responders. Jared Shriver, senior vice president of U.S. Cattle and Pork at Zoetis, presented a check to Folds of Honor at the 2023 Zoetis National Cattle Sales Meeting.
“With our 2022 contribution, Zoetis helped support 141 scholarships for the spouses and children of the heroes that protect our communities and our freedoms,” said Jared Shriver, senior vice president of U.S. Cattle and Pork at Zoetis. “We are grateful for our beef and dairy customers who inspire us to help support the educational pursuits of these military and first responder family members.”
Shriver said that supporting scholarships for students that are pursuing agricultural and animal production studies, like Kaycee Moyer at Oklahoma State University and Yzabella Ahart at Texas Tech University, is important to the company. “These young women’s parents served their country with integrity and dedication,” said Shriver. “Supporting an organization that helps students like Kaycee and Yzabella accomplish their educational goals is a privilege.”
Zoetis is committed to supporting the legacy of leaders in agriculture and communities across the United States. Because of this, Zoetis will continue its Folds of Honor collaboration for a second year. Throughout 2023, Zoetis will donate a portion of sales of select cattle products to Folds of Honor.
