Ready-2-Xecute’s Commitment to Community: A Glimpse into the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation and Farms for City Kids
At Ready-2-Xecute, our commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond the realms of logistics. Recently, we had the privilege of attending the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Suppliers Conference in October 2023, an event that not only provided valuable insights into the company’s strategic direction but also inspired us to contribute to a cause close to their heart.
Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation: Cultivating a Legacy of Giving Back
Founded by Jim Hagedorn, the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation is a testament to the desire to leave a lasting legacy while addressing critical environmental and social issues. The foundation supports various non-profit groups, including Farms for City Kids, a cause personally connected to Jim Hagedorn’s wife, Karli.
Farms for City Kids: Growing Values Beyond the Classroom
Farms for City Kids is a remarkable initiative that provides urban youth with an outdoor classroom, where they explore new dimensions of learning through everyday farm activities. The mission is clear: to encourage teamwork, respect, and instill values like responsibility and self-confidence in children by integrating academics with sustainable farming practices.
R2X at the Scotts Miracle-Gro Suppliers Conference: Networking with Purpose
Our attendance at the Scotts Miracle-Gro Suppliers Conference was a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for giving back. Hosted by CEO Jim Hagedorn and the executive team, the conference offered a comprehensive overview of the company’s strategic direction.
This event wasn’t just about business; it was about building relationships and making a difference. We pledged to sponsor Farms for City Kids to support the Scotts Foundation and make an impact beyond the traditional corporate setting, demonstrating our commitment to fostering positive change in the communities we serve.
