Stemilt Growers supports Brave Warrior Project

Wenatchee, Wash.-based Stemilt Growers participated in a community fundraiser to help families with children suffering from chronic illness, according to a news release.

Taking place May 15, the Brave Warrior Project’s 5th annual Superhero Walk ‘N’ Roll event raised $22,565 this year to support families in the Wenatchee Valley and surrounding communities via respite care, recreational therapy, parent support, financial support, and more,  the release said.

“Our Community Investment Committee supported the Superhero Walk this year with apples and a monetary donation,” Brianna Shales, marketing director for Stemilt Growers, said in the release. “Our sales team, led by Mandy Hanko, formed a team called the Stemilt Supers to participate in the walk. The Brave Warrior Project offers important services to children and families in our community, and helps eliminate barriers to care and support that often come with living in smaller communities. We appreciate our Stemilters and their little superheroes who showed up to walk and support these brave warriors.”
