World Ag Expo® Donates Over $91,000 to Valley Children's Healthcare from Toyota Tundra Giveaway
Madera, CA - The International Agri-Center®, World Ag Expo®, and the Central Valley Toyota Dealers presented a check in the amount of $91,442.32 to Valley Children’s Healthcare during the All Guild Picnic held on May 28th, in Madera, California. The donation marks another impactful milestone in the partnership, which began in 2015. Since then, over $875,000 has been raised to support Valley Children’s Healthcare.
The check represented the total funds raised by the Guilds of Valley Children’s Healthcare through their participation in the World Ag Expo Toyota Tundra Giveaway by selling tickets for a chance to win a new 2025 Tundra. The proceeds from the giveaway will go directly to support the Central California hospital.
"The Guilds of Valley Children's are grateful for 11 years of partnership with World Ag Expo and Central Valley Toyota Dealers to help fulfill our mission," said Marla McClaskey, Chair of the Guild Coordinating Council. "These partnerships, along with the amazing generosity of our community, make possible the continued success of the Toyota Tundra Giveaway benefitting Valley Children's and the patients and families it cares for."
The Tundra truck, won by Jayson Wertenberger of Fresno, CA, on the final day of World Ag Expo, was donated by the Central Valley Toyota Dealers, through their role as the Official Truck of World Ag Expo.
“The Toyota Tundra Giveaway is more than just a tradition at World Ag Expo, it’s a meaningful way we give back to the community,” said Jerry Sinift, Chief Executive Officer of the International Agri-Center. “We’re incredibly proud to present this donation to Valley Children’s Healthcare, an organization that makes a real difference in the lives of families across the region. We’re honored to be part of it."
