It’s a bird, it’s a plane…it’s a cascade of colorful golf balls that look curiously like NERDS candy! 🍬🚁

Ferrara partnered with the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce for their annual Golf Classic, sponsoring the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop in which hundreds of colorful golf balls were dropped onto the course for participants’ chances at some sweet prizes.

Thank you to the Chicagoland Chamber for your work to strengthen the Chicago region’s business community, driving economic growth throughout Chicagoland.

We believe the connections we build with one another and our communities make us stronger.

That spirit was at the heart of a recent conversation with author and CEO Carol Lavin Bernick of Polished Nickel Capital Management.

Drawing from her experiences in business and philanthropy, Carol shared her perspective on leadership, giving back and the impact we can create when we come together.

Thank you to Carol for joining us and inspiring to create moments of connection and bring a little more sweetness to everything we do.

Back-to-school season kicked off with a sweet start in Chicago.

Ferrara was proud to hit the streets for the 97th Annual Bud Billiken Parade — one of Chicago’s most iconic traditions and a celebration of community and the start of a new school year.

From handing out Now & Later Candy along the parade route to donating backpacks to help students start the year ready, we were proud to be part of the day.

Thank you to everyone who helped us inspire sweetness.

Last week, we welcomed some very special guests to our Ferrara offices for Bring Your Kid to Work Day. Our team members brought their kids along for a day of fun, giving them a peek at what their grownups do every day and sharing a little bit of the Ferrara experience with the next generation.

Family is an important part of who we are at Ferrara, and we loved seeing our workplaces filled with even more energy, curiosity, and laughter than usual.
