PARSIPPANY, N.J. — September 18, 2024 — Zoetis ended the second quarter of 2024 with a $250,000 contribution to Folds of Honor. This brings the total contribution from Zoetis to $1.55 million over its three years of support to the organization. Proceeds from the sales of select Zoetis products continue to raise funds for Folds of Honor scholarships.
Folds of Honor provides academic scholarships to the spouses and children of men and women who have fallen or been disabled while serving in the U.S. armed forces or as first responders. Awarding recipients like Anne Bennett, who have a passion for agriculture and supporting the military, allows Zoetis to continue to support the future of agriculture and champion those who help protect our nation.
Bennett was a 2023 Folds of Honor scholarship recipient and studies Animal Science at Oklahoma State University. Just like Zoetis, she is proud to stand with those in the military and first responders.
Having Zoetis and Folds of Honor support each other in a way that makes a difference in the lives of military and first responder families is something Anne is proud to be a part of.
“Receiving the Folds of Honor scholarship meant a lot to me,†said Anne. “It felt like a recognition for my dad, for the things he did and the things he is doing now serving as a deputy in the sheriff’s department.â€
