Mountaire Farms Establishes The Better Carolina Award
(Lumber Bridge, NC) Mountaire Farms, the 7th largest poultry producer in the nation, is pleased to announce the launch of The Mountaire Better Carolina Award. The Better Carolina Award is a monthly honor designed to highlight local individuals, businesses, civic organizations or classrooms who are going above and beyond in their effort to assist others in the community or to improve and protect the local environment.
“Our goal is not only to recognize those who are already making a difference in the state of North Carolina, but to encourage others to take on a greater role in bettering their local communities or improving the local environment. A fireman, policeman, or anyone who is an active volunteer at community events, helping others in a local hospital, teaching in a classroom, providing for the homeless, or something as simple as cleaning up the trash along our roadways, can be a candidate for this award.” – Roger Marino, Corporate Community Relations Director, Mountaire Farms
As of Monday, April 9th, Mountaire began accepting nominations for the award through a newly established webpage, www.bettercarolinaaward.com. Nominations will be accepted year round and could be chosen at any time to receive the honor. All entries are reviewed by a committee of Mountaire Managers who will then select a deserving winner each month.
Better Carolina Award winners will receive a crystal engraved trophy and will be featured in WRAL-TV commercial vignettes, on select www.wral.comweb features and on www.mountaire.com.
