Wayne-Sanderson Farms’ Decatur Prepared Foods Complex announced it recently raised $155,100 for the American Cancer Society (ACS).
The fundraising total is the culmination of a yearlong effort by facility team members, community volunteers, and corporate partners. The anchor of the annual campaign was the flagship 24th annual charity golf tournament, which brought together regional participants to drive significant awareness and financial support for cancer research, advocacy, and patient care programs.
“The generosity of our workforce, growers, and local partners continues to redefine what is possible when we come together for a common cause,” said Heath Loyd, Vice President, Regional Operations for Wayne-Sanderson Farms. “Reaching this milestone ensures that the American Cancer Society receives critical resources to support families navigating a diagnosis, and our team is grateful to everyone who contributed to this campaign’s success.”
The partnership with the American Cancer Society reflects the complex’s commitment to community engagement. By combining employee volunteerism with large-scale events, the facility continues to support organizations working to improve health and well-being in the region.
With the 2026 campaign concluded, leadership and staff at the Decatur Prepared Foods facility are setting goals to continue their philanthropic efforts in 2027.
