Local FFA Chapters Raise $44,500 Through Annual WIX Filters Box Tops Fundraiser

GASTONIA, N.C. (June 2026) – WIX Filters, a global manufacturer of filtration products, announced today that the company has awarded $44,500 to local FFA chapters through its annual box top fundraising program in partnership with the National FFA Organization.

This year, 106 individual FFA chapters collected box tops from WIX Filters’ full line of filters, including oil, air, cabin air, fuel, transmission, air compressor, hydraulic and coolant filters. The total cash earned is 51% more than last year.

Four FFA chapters earned a $1,000 bonus check for collecting the most box tops per member:

·       Dixon FFA, Dixon, Mo.

·       Durham FFA, Durham, Calif.

·       Pendleton FFA, Pendleton, S.C.

·       Lapeer County FFA, Attica, Mich.

Additionally, Wyndmere FFA in Wyndmere, N.D., earned a $1,000 bonus for the highest percentage increase per member.

“Programs like the WIX Filters box top fundraiser help ensure FFA students nationwide can pursue careers in agriculture,” said Carmina Lopez, Brand Manager at WIX Filters.

“The increased participation this year reinforces the value of supporting the next generation of agriculture professionals.”  

WIX Filters has been a long-term partner of FFA, donating nearly $800,000 throughout the country since the start of the box top program. In addition, Jennifer Gibson, Senior Key Account Manager for WIX Filters, was recently appointed to be a national level judge for the National FFA Organization. In this role, she will help select award winners, grant recipients and chapter ratings.

WIX Filters enable superior performance for the entire range of engine-driven agriculture equipment, including tractors, combines, harvesters, telehandlers, skid steers, loaders and utility vehicles. Backed by over 85 years of in-the-field experience, WIX Filters offers more than 17,000 different filters manufactured and engineered to the highest standards, providing reliable protection for farming machines operating long hours in extreme conditions and dusty environments.

The box top fundraising program occurs annually and is open to all FFA chapters in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Box top redemption takes place from January to April, and interested participants can ask their local WIX Filters retailer for details on the program.
