The Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) today announced that its Meat Industry Suppliers Alliance Foundation (MISAF) raised a record-setting amount of $131,000 on Thursday, March 19th during the Foundation Banquet and Auction held at the FPSA Annual Conference at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California. These funds are used to support the MISA Foundation’s Scholarship Program for deserving students studying meat sciences at universities throughout North America.
“We couldn’t be more proud of our members for their commitment to the MISA Foundation and their dedicated support for our scholarship program,” said Tom Hoffmann, Chairman of the MISA Foundation. “The results of this year’s auction were achieved through a significant increase in both donations and the enthusiastic participation on the part of FPSA members.”
