Raffle to Benefit Virginia Agriculture in the Classroom

In conjunction with the 2019 Virginia Grains and Soybean Annual Conference we are delighted to host a benefit raffle the evening of Wednesday, February 20, 2019 to benefit Virginia Agriculture in the Classroom. The raffle prizes will be drawn during the dinner the evening of the 20th, which is open to all conference attendees. We encourage you to attend, participate and support this organization!

The mission of Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) is to educate Virginia's children about the importance of agriculture.

AITC does this through:

• Professional development and resources for educators
• School grants for agriculturally themed projects
• Awards for teachers who successfully integrate agriculture into their classrooms
• Agriculture Literacy Week reading program
• Support for volunteer initiatives.

AITC is able to achieve its mission due to the generosity of donors. Proceeds from this live auction will benefit AITC's efforts in Virginia.
