June 14, 2016 | 2 min to read
PALMETTO, FL – Sunripe Certified Brands is proud to announce its role as Premier Sponsor for this year’s Tour de Fresh event from Napa Valley to Monterey, Calif. July 26-28, with the goal of raising at least $175,000 in order to donate 50+ salad bars to schools across the country through Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools.
The company’s commitment to the event is a natural extension of one of its core values of social responsibility and the importance of giving back to communities. Just as Sunripe Certified Brands has partnered with like-minded companies that advocate for safe, healthy work environments, its partnership with Tour de Fresh reflects a common goal to make fresh produce accessible in schools across the country.
“We have a great sense of responsibility for the people, communities and causes that support our business” said Jon Esformes, CEO of Sunripe Certified Brands. “We’re thrilled to support Tour de Fresh as a Premier Sponsor, because we know that educators, the children they serve, and the entire fresh produce industry benefit by equipping schools with fresh fruits and vegetables.”
Recently awarded the Excellence in Standards Award by Whole Foods Market, Sunripe Certified Brands’ promise to do the right thing and exceed expectations is why the company is passionate about supporting an event that brings the industry together to create nationwide change for future generations.
