This Memorial Day Marks Another Season of Giving Through the Zoetis Patriots’ Pledge Program

Purchases of select products from Memorial Day to Veterans Day help fund the future and honor the legacy of military and first responder heroes.

Memorial Day marks the start of another season of giving for Zoetis, through its Patriots’ Pledge program. Now until Veterans Day, a portion of sales from select cattle, pork and poultry products will be donated to Folds of Honor, an organization

committed to providing life-changing academic scholarships to the spouses and children of injured or fallen U.S. Armed Forces members and First Responders.

“We’re just so proud to be able to partner with great companies like Zoetis, to allow people the opportunity to pay it forward, to say thank you for your freedoms in a positive way,” says Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor founder and CEO. “That’s a force multiplier for these families, giving them the gift of an education, specifically in the agricultural and animal science fields, where we empower these young men and women to go off and serve in this awesome industry.”

To date, Zoetis has contributed more than $2 million to Folds of Honor and helped support 361 scholarships. Providing scholarships for students who are pursuing agricultural and animal production studies is important to Zoetis and reiterates its commitment to supporting the future of agriculture and industry leaders.

“Having a parent in the military changes your perspective a bit,” says Jeanette Weddle, Folds of Honor scholarship recipient.

Weddle is currently studying agricultural education at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, with plans to obtain a master’s degree in either animal science or horticulture. She is grateful to be a scholarship recipient and says the program will allow her to further her education and pursue her long-term career goals.

“I think it’s very honorable that this scholarship is only awarded to children of military members or first responders,” Weddle says. “Even though I wasn’t in the military myself, children and families like me still experience the impact of it.”

The Patriots’ Pledge program continues to expand, with Synovex^® implants being the most recent addition to the eligible product lineup of beef, dairy, pork and poultry products.
