Growth Energy’s Growth Force is growing and donating to charity.
The ethanol organization announced today that 28 of its member plants raised $7,395 for local charities of their choice through the Growth Force Now promotion.
The promotion was designed to increase membership of Growth Force, a group that believes in a cleaner, greener America through the use of biofuels, and donate funds to local charities and organizations. For every new Growth Force member recruited, Growth Energy committed to donating one dollar to each participant’s charity of choice. The member plants that participated in the promotion recruited 7,395 new members for Growth Force, helping to bring total Growth Force membership to 18,000 strong.
“Our Growth Force members are made up of individuals from across the country who care that we become more energy independent, improve our national security, create jobs that can’t be outsourced, and clean the environment,” said Growth Energy CEO Tom Buis.
Growth Force is made up of bipartisan agricultural supporters who believe in America’s homegrown energy, ethanol. Members receive electronic updates on current issues, a complimentary gift pack and “opportunities to help fellow ag supporters in the efforts to shape our future.”
