Fresno State Bulldog Foundation Launches Valley Fueled Initiative to Support Student-Athlete Nutrition
2/24/2026 1:50:00 PM | General
FRESNO, Calif. — The Bulldog Foundation proudly announces the launch of the Valley Fueled Initiative, a new program designed to strengthen the nutritional support of Fresno State's student-athletes through generous gift-in‑kind donations of locally sourced proteins, produce and other ready to eat foods.
"The Bulldog Foundation's gift-in-kind program is a powerful way for Central Valley farmers to give back, and I encourage our ag community to get involved. I dropped off my delivery at Pardini's and their team took care of the rest. It's inspiring to see Bulldog student-athletes wear the Green "V", honoring the Valley's rich farming heritage." - Ed Koetsier, Oakview Dairy
The program offers donors a new avenue to support Fresno State Athletics beyond traditional financial contributions. Whether through a single box of fruit or a large‑scale beef donation, every gift, big or small, directly enhances the daily nutrition available to more than 400 student‑athletes across all sports. Deliveries of meat can be dropped off at Pardinis and fruit and produce can be dropped off at the Meyers Family Sports Medicine Center coordinating with the Bulldog Foundation.
