A whirlwind tour designed to raise awareness and funds for Project EverGreen is now underway. A team of Project EverGreen representatives left Oct. 24 and, with the aid of a corporate jet provided by Bayer Environmental Science, will contact key existing and potential contributors in seven cities—in less than a week.

“We are extremely grateful to Bayer for their help in making this trip possible,” said Den Gardner, executive director of Project EverGreen. “Through their generosity we have been able to coordinate a team to present the need for sustaining and expanding the mission of Project EverGreen—and do it in minimum time.”

In addition to Gardner, the Project EverGreen team includes Paul McDonough, LESCO (president of Project EverGreen board of directors); Dan Carrothers, Bayer Environmental Science; and Bill Klutho, John Deere. The team will visit Raleigh, Greensboro and Charlotte, N.C.; New Holland, Pa.; Milwaukee and Brillion, Wis.; and Kansas City, Mo., on a schedule designed to contact a list of key existing and potential contributors.
