Boilermaker Road Race

July 8, 2018

Food Bank of Central New York has once again partnered with the Boilermaker Road Race for their charity bib program. The Food Bank's charity bib team is comprised of five volunteer individuals who have each pledged to raise at least $500 for Food Bank of Central New York in return for a guaranteed spot in the Boilermaker. Runners can choose to register for the 15k road race, 5k road race or the Boilermaker walk.

Funds raised through charity bibs will support the Food Bank's Diabetes & You program and our Pantry Annex Cold Trailer (PACT) program. Diabetes & You is a collaborative effort aiming to improve the overall knowledge of food pantry guests living with diabetes or pre-diabetes by informing individuals about the disease, how to improve self-management, ways to reduce risk, and what foods encourage a healthy lifestyle. The PACT program, in partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, will simultaneously address hunger and the environmental issue of food waste by increasing storage capacity for perishables at our partner agencies.

Food Bank of Central New York is also teaming up with the Boilermaker Road Race, Smith Packing, makers of Honest John's Hot Dogs, and Freihofer's to raise funds for our hunger relief mission.

Food Bank representatives and volunteers will be on the Mohawk Valley Community College campus during the Boilermaker Expo on July 6 selling delicious Honest John's Hot Dogs for $1. All products including hot dogs, rolls, and condiments were donated - meaning 100% of the proceeds will benefit Food Bank of Central New York.

For questions, please contact Lynn Hy, Chief Development Officer, at (315) 437-1899 ext. 247.
