In what year did the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis present NFA with a Certificate of Appreciation?

The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis presented the National FFA Organization (formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, or NFA, when it was still in existence) with a Certificate of Appreciation in 1958. This recognition was significant as it acknowledged the contributions NFA made towards raising awareness and supporting efforts to combat polio, particularly through educational programs and youth leadership initiatives. This event highlights the collaborative efforts between youth organizations and public health campaigns during that period, underscoring the impact of FFA and NFA members in their communities. Understanding this context provides a clearer picture of the interrelation between agricultural education and public health advocacy during the mid-20th century.
