2008 Pork Community Outreach Program

The Kansas Pork Association is continuing the “Pork Community Outreach”.

The program is designed to assist individual pork producers in becoming more involved and positively visible in their local communities. The KPA would like to offer matching funds on expenses on selected community relations activities. The purpose of this program is to multiply the positive effects of pork producer involvement in the communities where hogs are raised.

Programs eligible for cost-sharing dollars include:

Sponsoring pork as the main dish for a community meal or charity event.

Hosting a hog roast or other pork meal for a near by housing development.

Sponsoring a local sports team (your farm name and the pork logo would be displayed).

Sponsoring signage at a local sporting event (your farm name and the pork logo would be displayed).

Sponsorship of a local festival.

Doing classroom visits educating youth about the nutritional value of pork and modern pork production (educational materials provided by the KPA).

To be eligible you must:

Fill out a cost share request form and submit it to the KPA at least two weeks prior to your event.

Submit design ideas to the KPA so that appropriate logos and messages may be included.
