Rockin' Protein, made by Shamrock Farms, announced a $100,000 donation to Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring and empowering the spouses and children of our nation's fallen or disabled service members and first responders through educational scholarships.
Entering year two of the partnership, Rockin' Protein is extending its support of Folds of Honor with the launch of "Table of Honor," a roundtable conversation featuring three military families who received scholarships from Folds of Honor. Moderated by award-winning sportscaster Ed Werder, Table of Honor provided a platform for recipients to discuss the impact the scholarships have had on their educations, careers and lives.
"As a family-owned company, paying it forward to the next generation is one of our core values, and Folds of Honor scholarships puts that in action," said Devon McClelland, president of Shamrock Farms fourth generation of McClelland family leadership. "Access to education and support for our armed forces are essential to building strong communities, and we're proud to partner with an organization like Folds of Honor that champions both values."
In addition, Rockin' Protein is launching three "Never Settle Stories," named after the brand's mission to never settle in the pursuit of one's dreams. The three one-on-one interviews with each family delve deeper into their history of sacrifice, service and never settling in the face of adversity.
The three scholarship-receiving families featured in the Table of Honor and Never Settle Stories are:
- MiLee Vogel, daughter of Ret. U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Bob Vogel and an engineering student at University of Arizona
- Allie McCrea, daughter of fallen U.S. Army Paratrooper Kevin McCrea and a music therapist at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia
- Ret. Senior Chief SEAL Brodie Renner and his wife Joy Renner, parents of two Folds of Honor scholarship recipients
Rockin' Protein is further amplifying its Folds of Honor support through limited-edition packaging, in-store marketing materials and digital advertisements.
"We're grateful to expand our relationship with Rockin' Protein and are touched by their eagerness to share our scholarship recipients' inspiring stories far and wide," said Rachael Lehman Chapman, Folds of Honor Arizona Regional Development Officer. "Our partnerships with like-minded companies and individuals are critical to ensuring we can carry out our mission and help as many people as possible."
