(WASHINGTON, DC) April 16, 2022 \u2013 <\/strong>The American Egg Board (AEB), on behalf of America\u2019s egg farmers, has unveiled the 2022 First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg, a symbolic gift for Dr. Jill Biden and an Easter tradition on behalf of America\u2019s egg farmers. This year\u2019s egg has been intricately designed to honor Dr. Biden\u2019s commitment to ensuring all Americans have access to a quality education and with homages to Delaware, where Dr. Biden has called home since the 1970\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a privilege and a joy for America\u2019s egg farmers to continue the 45-year legacy of gifting the handcrafted Commemorative Egg, a tribute to our nation\u2019s first ladies, their patriotism and service, and in recognition of the causes closest to their hearts. Eggs are an essential part of Easter and Passover celebrations, not just in our homes and with our families, but at the White House, too,\u201d said Emily Metz, president and CEO of the American Egg Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decades of First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Eggs to be featured in \u2018Colonnade of Eggs\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating the history of the First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg, this year the White House East Colonnade has been transformed into a Colonnade of Eggs. More than 40 years of First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Eggs\u2014presented to every First Lady since the tradition began in 1977\u2014are on display in the East Colonnade. The Colonnade of Eggs marks the first time that First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Eggs representing multiple presidential administrations will be on display together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that it has officially been presented to Dr. Biden, the 2022 First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg will
join the Colonnade of Eggs. A hand-painted quote from Dr. Biden showcasing her dedication to education is featured in flowing scrolls on the front of the 2022 First Lady\u2019s Commemorative Egg: \u201cEducation is possibility set in motion.\u201d Surrounding the quote are peach blossoms, Delaware\u2019s state flower, and the American holly, Delaware\u2019s state tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs Farmers Donate Over 100,000 Eggs to White House Easter Egg Roll and 90 Million Eggs
to Fight Hunger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Easter 2021, America\u2019s egg farmers have also made good on their pledge to donate 90 million eggs directly from their farms to food banks, nearly doubling the donation of 46 million eggs the year prior. \u201cIt is our mission to nourish American families, and what better way to do that than provide wholesome, nutritious eggs with powerful nutrients to Americans across the country?\u201d said American Egg Board Chair Mindy Truex, a fourth-generation egg farmer from Warsaw, Indiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s egg farmers remain committed to fighting hunger in 2022 through generous donations of eggs to their communities and foodbanks year-round. In the spirit of Easter, America\u2019s egg farmers once again are donating every egg used at this year\u2019s White House Easter Egg Roll for hunting, decorating and the iconic egg roll. More than 100,000 eggs will be donated to the event and to the
Maryland Food Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s Egg Farmers have Strong Presence at the White House Easter Egg Roll<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s egg farmers from across the country will have a strong presence at this year\u2019s White House Easter Egg Roll. In addition to the roll itself, families on the South Lawn will have an opportunity to visit the American Egg Board\u2019s interactive Hen to Home exhibit to learn about an egg\u2019s journey from the farm to the plate; decorate eggs with stickers, googly eyes, washi tape and markers; take their photo at a replica of the President\u2019s desk; and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the cafetorium, mini quiches, mini egg salad sliders and blueberry swirl cheesecakes will be served to hungry egg rollers and hunters. Animal lovers can enjoy \u201cFirst Pet\u201d sugar cookies with photos of Commander and Willow. Also in the cafetorium is a one-of-a-kind Macaron White House, created in partnership with Chef Stephen Durfee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
