Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Receives Checks from Jamesway and USPOULTRY at 2025 IPPE
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta recently received donations from Jamesway and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY) during the International Poultry Expo (IPE), part of the 2025 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), in Atlanta. The IPPE is the world’s largest annual trade show for the poultry and egg, animal food and meat industries.
Denis Kan, president of Jamesway, presented a check in the amount of $2,000 to Melisa Morrow, development officer and manager of Foundation events for the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation. USPOULTRY matched Jamesway’s contribution with Mikell Fries, Claxton Poultry Farms and outgoing USPOULTRY chair, presenting the check. Christian Jordan, vice president of sales and marketing for Jamesway, and Nath Morris, president of USPOULTRY, joined in the presentation. Jamesway has donated to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta for 15 years, and USPOULTRY has donated for 14 years.
"This is our 15th year of contributing to this worthy cause, and we are pleased to provide this donation to the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta,” said Kan.
“Jamesway’s continued leadership in contributing to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is appreciated by our Association. We are pleased to again match this donation,” said Fries.
“Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta depends on generous supporters like Jamesway and USPOULTRY to fulfill its mission of improving children’s health today and ensuring a healthier future through philanthropic contributions. The organization provides essential medical care to Georgia’s children, including those from families unable to afford it,” said Morrow.
