Caravan Ingredients raised $75,000 for the March of Dimes through the premier fundraising event, March for Babies. Funds raised support the March of Dimes' effort to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
Caravan Ingredients matched their employees fundraising efforts dollar for dollar and as a result were able to raise over $75,000 to benefit the March of Dimes. Bill McGowan, President and CEO at Caravan Ingredients said "We are a company of individuals that come together as one team to make great things happen. We embrace our values of Passion, Partnership and Performance in all that we do and this campaign is just another demonstration of our great culture."
March for Babies is the March of Dimes’ leading fundraising event that benefits all babies. Since its inception in 1970, March for Babies, has raised more than $2 billion nationwide for mothers and babies.
2012 marks the fifth year Caravan Ingredients has participated in this employee led effort to support the March of Dimes. The March of Dimes is particularly important to Caravan Ingredients because together they share one large commonality: folic acid. A large part of the March of Dimes’ mission is to promote the health benefits of including folic acid in a healthy diet. Folic acid plays a major role in reducing the life-long effects of neural tube defects such as spina-bifida in premature babies. Caravan Ingredients is the world's number one supplier of folic acid to the grain industry.
