Popghum Invited Back to Support Farm Aid as a Family of Food Sponsor at Farm Aid 2011
June 21, 2011
ARLINGTON, VA – Popghum announced today it has accepted an invitation to be a Family of Food Sponsor for this year’s Farm Aid concert. This is Popghum’s second consecutive year as a sponsor.
This year’s show is scheduled for August 13, 2011at the LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kansas.
The Family of Food Sponsorship is specifically devised to support backstage catering efforts. Every gift received reduces event costs, and puts more dollars to work on behalf of family farmers.
“We’ve been invited for a second straight year,” said Dan Gadra, Chief Executive Officer, Popghum. “I think those old rockers like us! In all seriousness, we definitely like them. This organization works tirelessly to raise funds to keep family farmers on the land growing good, real, healthy food. Their goal is to feed us first and make profits second, and that’s the way it’s supposed to be.”
As part of the sponsorship, Popghum will be listed in Farm Aid’s concert media press release about Good Food at Farm Aid, on the signage in the catering tent, and in a special Farm Aid program book.
Popghum is available now at select Whole Foods Markets and MOMs Organic Markets. If it’s not on the shelves, just ask for it!
