Former junior high to be sold by city and school
By Brian L. Gray

On Jan. 20, Pfizer Animal Health donated money to the Mandan FFA Chapter. Pfizer Animal Health helps support FFA by contributing one percent of its Pfizer Animal Health product purchases back to the veterinary clinic they were purchased from. The clinic is then able to donate that money to local FFA Chapters of their choice.
Pfizer is a national contributor and has contributed over $1 million dollars to FFA Chapters across the country. Interstate Veterinary Clinic, Mandan Veterinary Clinic, and Johnson Veterinary Clinic, all from Mandan, were the contributors to the Mandan Chapter.
Chapters can use the funds to sponsor awards, run leadership activities or develop new programs to help the community.
