The main fundraiser is the annual silent auction during Pack-The-Place night.
The group also volunteers time to assist with grilling pork chops, judge career
development events and proficiency record books. The group is open to anyone who
is interested in supporting our local FFA chapter and Ag Ed Program. If you are
interested in getting involved please reach out to Mr. Bryce Hoffman, Olympia
FFA Chapter Advisor. He can be reached via email at
