Hopefully with this DVD more schools will participate and more kids will get involved. Tons of gratitude for Dusty Nelson for getting this all together and the fine people over at Second Harvest Food Bank for all of their hookups and support!

Being that this is the 4th year of Grind Out Hunger which works with local Elementary, Middle and High School kids by motivating them to contribute to the Holiday Food Drive. Grind Out Hunger utilizes the Action Sports channel to encourage the youth to raise the most pound per student at their school for over $1200 in prizes from Santa Cruz Skate Shop. I was able to speak once again on behalf of Grind Out Hunger and announce the winning schools and preach the word against hunger. This years winners went over the top once again and made the Grind Out Hunger program have another successful year. The winners of this years skate deck, trophy and bragging rights are:

Elementary School:  Carden School of Santa Cruz $300 prize

Middle School:  Salesian Junior High School $300 prize

High School: Empire Academy$600 prize

With Generation Next award going to Watsonville High School with a 416% increase over 2007 and Brook Knoll for raising 2683 pounds of food.

I did think we would have better success this year but it seems that the recession has taken its toll on our program as well (we barely missed last years totals). 2009 we are going to hit the ground running and get things switched back around. I will announce the official winners after the dinner on March 4th at the Elks Lodge. If you see your school on here and want to be a part of our program please email dk@grindouthunger.org for 2009!
