Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Warsaw Community Schools (WCS) invites community members and local businesses to support the Warsaw FFA Chapter at its 23rd Annual Community Appreciation Supper and Worker Experience Auction Thursday at Warsaw Community High School (WCHS).
The annual event celebrates the community's continued support of Warsaw FFA while raising funds to provide students with valuable leadership, career exploration and personal growth opportunities, according to a provided news release from WCS.
The evening will begin with a free appreciation dinner served from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the WCHS cafeteria. Guests are invited to participate in live and silent auctions throughout the event.
A highlight of the evening is the Worker Experience Auction, where Warsaw FFA members volunteer four hours of community service in exchange for a monetary donation from the highest bidder. Funds raised support student participation in state and national FFA conventions, leadership conferences, career development events, leadership competitions, FFA jackets and chapter activities.
These experiences help students build confidence, develop leadership skills and explore future career pathways through agricultural education.
Community members and businesses are encouraged to attend and support the chapter. The event accepts cash, checks and invoices only.
Warsaw FFA also offers sponsorship opportunities for individuals and businesses interested in making an additional investment in student success. Sponsorship levels include Blue ($500–$999), Gold ($1,000–$1,499) and Platinum ($1,500 and above), with recognition opportunities at chapter events and through FFA communications. The deadline for sponsorship recognition at this year's event was Nov. 6, although donations are welcomed throughout the year.
