SEEAG's Gill's Onions' "Double Your Impact Challenge"
The Californer/10312700

VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- Gill's Onions will match all donations up to $15,000 for every dollar donated to Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) through the end of May as part of SEEAG's 6^th Annual Double Your Impact Challenge.

All proceeds benefit SEEAG's Farm-to-Food Lab program in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. The program builds awareness and appreciation among grade schoolers for agriculture and the importance of eating healthy. It combines classroom learning with farm field trips and hands-on learning that includes water, plant, and soil science activities—all at no cost to students, teachers or schools.

"The Double Your Impact Challenge helps keep our program free," says Caitlin Paulus-Case, SEEAG's executive director. "Gill's Onions' generosity and all those who donate during May will help ensure our ability to provide the no-cost program during this coming school year."
