one dollar, every bag.
What is the Buddy Fund, and why does $1 from every bag of Chocolate Cherry Granola go back?
The Buddy Fund is a St. Louis nonprofit that helps underserved and at-risk children experience the benefits of sports by providing new athletic equipment to local schools, recreation programs and youth organizations.
Our three boys chose the Buddy Fund because they couldn't imagine that some kids might not have the opportunity to play sports simply because they don't have access to the equipment.
That's why $1 from every bag of Chocolate Cherry Granola sold goes directly to the Buddy Fund. It's one of the ways we help fuel what matters in our own community.
