Clothing Line Raises $100K for Georgia FFA Foundation
Friday, October 14th, 2022
During the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020, Chapman Trading Company owner Zeke Chapman started the Support Georgia Agriculture apparel line to support the Georgia FFA Foundation. To date, Support Georgia Agriculture has raised more than $100,000 for the organization.
It all began in August 2020, with a piece of artwork focusing on Georgia agriculture on a T-shirt that was sold online, then the proceeds were donated to the Georgia FFA Foundation. The fundraiser ran for two weeks, raising $15,000. With the success of the first clothing piece, Support Georgia Agriculture became a permanent brand.
Today, Support Georgia Agriculture features a variety of hats, shirts, outerwear, stickers, koozies, drinkware, flags, and more. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from every item sold directly benefits the Georgia FFA Foundation, a nonprofit organization working to promote agricultural education and the FFA in Georgia. The foundation provides leadership, personal growth, and career success opportunities to more than 60,000 FFA members in the state.
