Walk Against Hunger Corporate Sponsors

Huge thank yous are due to the corporate sponsors of the 30th Annual Walk Against Hunger.  These businesses not only provide the funds to run the event, they recruit teams of their own employees and families to take part in the Walk.

Of course, the Presenting Sponsor of the Walk Against Hunger is The Hartford.  This year, in addition to the corporate contribution and all of the goods and services the company donates, the employees turned out with a huge team and raised over $175,000!
















The Platinum Sponsor of the Walk is the Chase Family Foundations, who issue the Chase Challenge and match the first 50 walkers to raise $600 for Foodshare.  Over its 14 year history, the Chase Challenge has raised over $1 million for Foodshare.  Cheryl Chase represented the family at the event and after brief remarks from the stage, she and her husband joined me in leading off the Walk.

The Diamond Sponsor of the Walk is UnitedHealthcare, who in addition to the corporate sponsorship had a large group of employees walking on Sunday.






Other sponsors of the Walk Against Hunger include:

Gold:
Webster Bank

Silver:

SBM Charitable Foundation

Bronze:

CT Dietetics Association

Thank you to all of the sponsors and all of their employees who so generously support the Walk Against Hunger.
