Still time to get involved in Tour de Fresh
Tour de Fresh, presented by The California Giant Foundation, takes place in less than two months and there is still an opportunity to join this event, dedicated to supporting the Salad Bars to Schools. On a mission to fuel the younger generations around the United States with delicious fresh fruits and vegetables, supporters from inside and outside the industry have raised a total of $46,684 this year with no sign of slowing down anytime soon.
The fifth annual ride is welcoming new sponsors for its finish line festival – which the company says offers brands the opportunity to support this year’s event like never before. By sponsoring the finish line festival, brands have a chance to sample products in a 10x10 tent, meet face-to-face with local community members and industry colleagues, gain brand exposure by reaching trade and consumer media all at once in addition to recognition as a Salad Bars to Schools donor and mention in the Tour de Fresh media outreach.
“The finish-line festival idea was born from a deep desire to make this year’s event a party as we are celebrating a huge milestone together,” said Cindy Jewell, vice president of marketing at California Giant Berry Farms. “Our hope is to paint a visual for the local community and industry members that showcases what it means to be a part of the fresh produce industry – we come together and rally to support causes that have such a meaningful impact.”
