Sponsorship
There are several sponsorship opportunities for CCE-LOF commercial fruit programs. The first is the winter fruit conference in early February, then the LOF Summer Tour. Look for announcements for these events throughout the year. Your sponsorship helps to defray the costs of the programs and gives you an opportunity to show your products to the commercial fruit producers. We now can receive you sponsorship fees on-line.
Donations which can be made online are always welcome and appreciated.
Currently sponsorship is closed, please check back for Summer Tour sponsorship opportunities.
