Shamrock Farms, through its Rockin' Protein division, has announced a $100,000 donation to Folds of Honor, a nonprofit organization that provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. This marks the second year of the partnership between Rockin' Protein and Folds of Honor, furthering their joint mission to support military families.
As part of the expanded partnership, Rockin' Protein launched the "Table of Honor" initiative, a roundtable discussion featuring three military families who have benefited from Folds of Honor scholarships. Moderated by award-winning sportscaster Ed Werder, the conversation highlighted how the scholarships have impacted their education, careers, and personal lives.
Devon McClelland, president of Shamrock Farms and part of the company's fourth-generation leadership, emphasized the importance of the partnership: "As a family-owned company, paying it forward to the next generation is one of our core values, and Folds of Honor scholarships put that into action. Access to education and support for our armed forces are essential to building strong communities, and we're proud to partner with an organization like Folds of Honor that champions both values."
In addition to the Table of Honor, Rockin' Protein is introducing three "Never Settle Stories," a series of one-on-one interviews with the scholarship recipients. These stories delve deeper into the recipients' backgrounds, highlighting their resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The featured families include:
MiLee Vogel, daughter of Ret. U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Bob Vogel, currently pursuing an engineering degree at the University of Arizona.
Allie McCrea, daughter of fallen U.S. Army Paratrooper Kevin McCrea, working as a music therapist at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia.
Ret. Senior Chief SEAL Brodie Renner and his wife Joy Renner, parents of two Folds of Honor scholarship recipients.
To further amplify its support for Folds of Honor, Rockin' Protein is rolling out limited-edition packaging, in-store promotions, and digital marketing campaigns that spotlight the partnership and the inspiring stories of scholarship recipients.
Rachael Lehman Chapman, Folds of Honor’s Arizona Regional Development Officer, expressed gratitude for the growing collaboration: "We’re grateful to expand our relationship with Rockin' Protein and are touched by their eagerness to share our scholarship recipients' inspiring stories far and wide. Our partnerships with like-minded companies and individuals are critical to ensuring we can carry out our mission and help as many people as possible."
