Thanks to you, the first-ever Pulling For The Hungry event was a great success! Hundreds of people came out to Yonge-Dundas Square throughout the day, and thousands more saw the event from their living rooms at 6 p.m. on Global, CityTV, and CP24 News.
Our goal was to raise awareness about the Toronto Foundation for Student Success and the student hunger problem in Toronto. Thanks to Conor Kelly of Evolution Fitness and Julie Tyios of Red Juice Media, we were able to achieve this goal in a big way.
