North Supports: Minnesota Food Share Month

The FOX Sports “North Supports” campaign continues to grow and gain support, not only from employees but also from fans and other local companies. The month of March focused on the Minnesota FoodShare initiative, a statewide media campaign to promote food shelf donations. Check out how we made a difference:

Employee Outreach
Employees at the North office organized a pancake breakfast fundraiser to collect donations from staff.

Fan Outreach
Throughout the month, FOX Sports North sent out hunger facts on Twitter and encouraged fans to “retweet” the facts for the chance to win a FOX Sports North water bottle. Many fans retweeted the messages, spreading the word across the North region.

Building Outreach
FOX Sports North expanded the food drive effort by hosting an event for the entire Riverplace office complex—offering people the chance to win tickets to local sporting events if they made a donation.

In total, FOX Sports North collected over $600 and two large bins filled with food for Northpoint Health & Wellness Center in Northeast Minnepolis: http://www.northpointhealth.org/
