Philadelphia and Dallas are about to face off—but this time, the competition is happening off the field.
From October 19 through October 26, Philabundance and the North Texas Food Bank will go head-to-head in the Huddle to End Hunger Challenge, a friendly fundraising competition leading up to the football game in Philadelphia on October 26. Supporters of each food bank will rally their communities to raise funds and help provide food and resources to neighbors facing hunger.
Though there will be plenty of friendly competition along the way, there is more than just bragging rights on the line. The CEO of the losing food bank will be required to wear a T-shirt representing the winning food bank after the final fundraising totals are tallied on October 26. Regardless of which food bank comes out on top, the real winners will be neighbors facing hunger in the Philadelphia region and North Texas.
“We’re excited to bring some friendly competition to the fight against hunger,” said Loree Jones Brown, CEO of Philabundance. “Especially because we know that with our Philadelphia area supporters, this will be an easy win for us and a win for the people we serve. Every dollar raised helps support our neighbors facing food insecurity.”
