Lance Tibbet, President of TOR, to make presentation
Lance Tibbet, President of the Tournament of Roses and other tournament dignitaries will be at Dole Packaged Foods headquarters in Westlake Village on Tuesday, March 21 at 11 a.m. to present the 2017 Sweepstakes Trophy to Dole President Brad Bartlett. Dole has won an unprecedented six Sweepstakes awards in the seven years it has entered a float in the parade.
Dole’s 2017 float “Spirit of Hawaii” celebrated Dole’s rich history and beginnings in the Hawaiian Islands and emphasized its environmental commitment with vibrant optimism. Dole’s commitment to healthy non-GMO products and respect for natural resources are embedded in its culture around the world where it operates as well as at home in the U.S.
Keeping with the Rose Parade theme, “Echoes of Success,” Dole Packaged Foods partnered with Ventura County’s regional food bank, FOOD Share, part of Feeding America, to collect non-perishable food items in the month leading up to the Rose Parade to benefit FOOD Share partners throughout the San Gabriel Valley. Dole selected FOOD Share President and CEO Bonnie Atmore to ride on Dole’s Rose Parade float in honor of her commitment to feeding, nourishing, and educating the hungry.
Dole Packaged Foods HQ is located at 3059 Townsgate Road, Suite 400, Westlake Village, CA 91361.
