Roots for Youth
Roots for Youth is a charitable foundation established in 2018 by the Farragine family, the founding owners of Bradford Greenhouses Ltd. in Ontario, Canada. The primary focus of Roots for Youth is to help fund students who are struggling due to difficult family or financial situations. The charity creates bursaries (scholarships) to reduce the burden of post-secondary education so that teens and young adults in-need can plant their roots and grow to become productive members of their communities.
