LIVINGSTON, Calif. — As part of its ongoing support of California youth programs, Foster Farms will cheer on select high school football teams as the presenting sponsor of Levi's® Stadium High School Football Series this Saturday, September 23, 2017. This event gives high school athletes the opportunity to compete in Levi's Stadium, home to the San Francisco 49ers and host field to Super Bowl 50. This year's high school double-header lineup will feature Los Altos(CA) vs. Wilcox (Santa Clara) at 3:30 p.m. followed by St. Mary's (Stockton) vs. Mater Dei (Santa Ana) at 7 p.m., two teams ranked in the top-25 nationally.
"We are committed to helping California students and young athletes reach their full potential," said Ira Brill, Foster Farms Director of Communications. "This series allows California high school players to live their dream of playing on the same turf as many NFL greats. It will be a memorable day for the players, their families and their communities and we are thrilled to help make these dreams a reality."
The High School Series event kicks off Foster Farms' season of giving in advance of the Foster Farms Bowl which takes place Wednesday, December 27th at Levi's Stadium. The Foster Farms Bowl is dedicated to fighting hunger and provides meals for underserved populations in the Bay Area. The Foster Farms Bowl also supports youth arts through the 'Oh Say, Can You Sing?' competition whereby youth singers compete for a chance to perform the national anthem at the Foster Farms Bowl.
Family-owned Foster Farms is dedicated to youth programs and hunger relief. The company's partnerships with local food banks help provide critical food and meal resources to families in need year round. Foster Farms' alliance with Second Harvest Food Bank expanded Food 4 Thought an incentive-based education program that addresses two fundamental needs – hunger and education. Students participating in additional weekly academic and extracurricular activities earn groceries twice a month for their families. The program has provided 5,300 elementary students in Stanislaus County alone with more than 1.75 million pounds of food.
