This year, the Tanimura &amp; Antle Relay for Life Committee devoted the majority of its efforts to The George Tanimura Relay for Life Roundup, during which event sponsors purchased tickets in honor of a loved one who has battle cancer. The company paid tribute to co-founder George Tanimura by presenting him with a bronze bust to be displayed in company headquarters alongside a similar bust of Antle Family patriarch, Bud Antle. CEO Rick Antle states “George Tanimura is an inspiration to many in the farming and business community. It is a pleasure to honor this fine man.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">This year, Tanimura &amp; Antle was awarded the first annual “Spirit of Relay” award for the company’s dedication to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.
