Attention: The NY Give FFA Day is this Thursday, February 26, 2026. Did you know NY has 200+ FFA chapters and 73,000 members? When chapters join outreach for Give FFA Day, we reach more supporters — and that means more funds to help members attend the National FFA Convention, the Big E, and keep State Convention costs low. Funds raised by the New York FFA Foundation directly support members. Every donor and every dollar makes a meaningful difference. https://giveffaday.ffa.org/campaigns/new-york-ffa
