“Adesis is a community of scientists, so we love programs that cultivate and encourage this curiosity – like sponsoring the teaching garden at Pleasantville School. Helping to ready the space was the first step in what promises to be an inspiring and educational collaboration between Adesis, Healthy Food for Healthy Kids and the students. Since we are a homegrown Delaware company, we’re proud to give back to our community in this way.”
— Susan Swansburg, Adesis, Inc.

For Champions, it’s a chance to demonstrate a tangible commitment to local communities, STEM, and children’s health.
