Naturipe Farms Partners with Gary Sinise Foundation for Summer Social Media Campaign Honoring Defenders, Veterans and First Responders

SALINAS, Calif., May 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning Memorial Day weekend through Independence Day weekend (May 24 – July 7, 2019), Naturipe Farms will donate $1 to the Gary Sinise Foundation for every photo fans share, containing a package of Naturipe berries on social media including the hashtags #growinggratitude and #naturipe.

Naturipe's partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation is the latest in their Growing Gratitude campaign, which kicked off earlier this year.

A farmer-owned produce company since 1917, Naturipe began the campaign by honoring the multiple generations of Naturipe farmers who have served in uniform before partnering with the Gary Sinise Foundation, whose mission is to serve and honor America's defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.

"At Naturipe, we wanted to invite our customers to join us in honoring our country's veterans and first responders this summer," said CarrieAnn Arias, Naturipe Farms' VP of Marketing. "The Gary Sinise Foundation has done such amazing work to serve defenders, veterans, first responders and their families that we felt they were the perfect organization to partner with."

Customers can share their photos with a package of Naturipe berries using the hashtags through July 7 to be included in the donation. For every photo posted, Naturipe will donate $1, up to $20,000, to the Gary Sinise Foundation.

In addition, select markets will see limited edition patriotic packaging on their Naturipe berries this summer. The packaging includes a patriotic version of the retro Naturipe logo in red, white, and blue, along with the Gary Sinise Foundation emblem.
