Welcome to my fundraising page for Jones Valley Teaching Farm! Please help me support Jones Valley in their mission to make a our community a healthier place.

This is a defining time for diet-related health issues in our state and our country. Health studies are beginning to link childhood obesity to not only the early onset of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but also low self-esteem, depression and poor performance in school. Nutrition and food education have never been more important.

But here’s something really great: this year, Protective Life Corporation has pledged to match every dollar donated to Jones Valley, up to $50,000. So when we raise $50,000, they’ll donate $50,000. That’s $100,000 to help Jones Valley educate Birmingham students.

Whether Jones Valley is educating K-8 students on The Farm or working with educators to develop science kits for hands-on learning in the classroom, every dollar invested goes directly to Jones Valley's educational efforts. Your donation is more than just a charitable contribution; it’s an investment in the future of our city.

A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated, as is helping me spread the word about this fundraiser. Let people know how you and I are helping make a difference through Facebook, Twitter, email—every which way you can.

Thank you for your investment in Jones Valley Teaching Farm!
