We also want to extend our sincerest gratitude to Orange Cove-Sanger Citrus Association for their generous sponsorship of Citrus Stride!
We started Citrus Stride 5 years ago as a way to connect the citrus industry with Sacramento policy makers around a shared interest in supporting rural communities by giving to community food banks. The event is traditionally held each Spring in Sacramento and consists of a 1-mile walk around the State Capitol. This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, Citrus Stride will be held virtually! We are excited to bring this event to life in a fun, unique way and continue the tradition of connecting the industry to legislators! Participants are encouraged to share their Citrus Stride experience on social media using the hashtag #VirtualCitrusStride. You can also email us photos at ccm@cacitrusmutua.com.
This is a family event! Register for yourself and your family members at www.citrusstride.com.
