 Jun. 29, 2012 Source: Progressive Agriculture Safety Day The Heath family of the show "Family Traditions with Haley Heath" on The Sportsman Channel are spokespersons for the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program. The Health family's popular television program is an inside look at a growing demographic of families that hunt together. In a crazy world where spending time with family takes a back seat to providing for one, "Family Traditions with Haley Heath" shows us how accomplishing both at the same time is possible. What began in 2006 with Haley's participation in a "Survivor"-like competition on the ESPN television show " Ultimate Outdoorsman Search" evolved into the popular television show "Family Traditions with Haley Heath." Since the show began, Haley has earned much-deserved recognition. In 2008, she was the first woman to receive the "Viewer Favorite Personality" Sportsman Channel Award. In 2009, she was appointed as the ambassador for The Sportsman Channel's organization, Hunt. Fish. Feed.SM, which works to feed needy families. In 2009, Haley was highlighted in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and ABC Nightly World News. Haley and G.O. Heath and their children, Gunner and Dakota, are all featured on "Family Traditions with Haley Heath." G.O. always envisioned himself working in the outdoors, and graduated from the University of Georgia's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences with a B.S.A. in crop and soil sciences. In addition to their show on The Sportsman Channel, the family lives and works on a farm in Bolingbroke, Ga. "Our family is very excited about partnering with the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program," says G.O. and Haley Heath. "Our days start and end on the farm, and something we instilled in our children at an early age is farm safety. We are looking forward to getting out in the field with the Safety Day program, and to helping keep kids safe in and around farms and ranches." "Our partnership with the Heath family is a natural one," says Randy Bernhardt, chief administrative officer of the Progressive Agriculture Foundation® (PAF). "Most outdoor enthusiasts come from rural America, and the farm Safety Day program provides rural youth and their families with crucial education on ATV safety, firearm safety and knife safety, to name a few. We are pleased to work with Haley, G.O. and their children to promote farm safety and the farm Safety Day program among outdoor enthusiasts." During the next 18 months, the Heath family will attend a PAF farm Safety Day program, promote the Safety Day program at the 2013 SHOT Show®, and attend the 2013 Progressive Agriculture Foundation annual reception and dinner in Louisville, Ky., in October 2013. The Heaths and PAF are also exploring additional ways that they can work together to promote farm safety. ABOUT PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE FOUNDATION The Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program is the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America and a program of the Progressive Agriculture Foundation®, a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation. The Foundation's mission is to provide education and training to make farm, ranch and rural life safer and healthier for children and their communities. In 2008, PAF was awarded the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance National Charity Seal, demonstrating its commitment to accountability and ethical practices. Safety Day applications are due each July 15 for Safety Days that will be conducted the following calendar year. Tweet |
