HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARISSA!

Categories:




First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARISSA!

Now that snow has been falling so much has been going in in the world of Hunger Fighter, Marissa Hushaw. This past weekend Marissa went up to China Peak to compete in Round 2 of CCSSS. She took 1st place in heats 1 and 2 BoarderX with a 2nd place finishing the final (Leading points now for the season).  She is blazing fast and has won 1st in the CCSSS GS competition. Marissa also took the 1st Wild Card for the Pro Snowboarder Andy Finch Invitational Slope Style Park event coming up (Female division). She was stoked when they called her over and gave the card and 1st entry.
Congrats on the wins, Marissa!

We sat down and asked Marissa “why are you so passionate about Grind Out Hunger?”. Her answer was nothing less than inspirational.
Check it out:

“Grind Out Hunger is first about showing kids that they can make a difference. Not just in their own lives, but they can change others. Learning the fact that one out of four people in my own community are malnourished, and go hungry every day really got to me. Not only does Grind Out Hunger provide nutritious food, but it provides a source of education to teach people how to choose and consume healthy foods. One tiny act of kindness from kids or adults will NOT go unrecognized. It makes you feel great when you know that you are helping to feed the people who live in your own community. Not only does it give them hope and strength, but it gives you community hope as well. Hope can be contagious! It spreads all throughout ones self and rubs off on others. One tiny spark of hope can make a colossal difference. I know that I have the power to make a difference, but I know that I can’t do it alone.”

~ Marissa N. Hushaw – Hunger Fighter!

Marissa Hushaw’s Birthday Wish…

Categories:

Anyone know what February 14th is!? Yes, Valentines Day, but it’s also Marissa Hushaw’s 15th Birthday!!!

We sat down and talked with her for a bit asking her what she’s wanting for her birthday. She responded by saying that she wanted to use her birthday as a day to raise food for kids in need.

She came to the decision that the ONLY wish she has for her birthday to raise $200 (600 pounds of food)  for Grind Out Hunger.

We looked at that and started breaking down the numbers. If 20 people donated $10 to her online campaign, her wish would be fulfilled.
Marissa believes that her community,  family, and friends can make this happen, no problem.
So, LETS DO IT!

There are two ways YOU can help Marissa’s Birthday wish come true:

1. Donate Online Here

2. Order a Special Edition Marissa Hushaw/Grind Out Hunger Wristband

 


Any and all donations are greatly appreciated no matter how big or small.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISSA!

102.5 KDON Morning Madhouse – Hunger Fighters

Its been a crazy week at Grind Out Hunger Headquarters. We teamed up with a good friend of ours, Connor Luther, and shot some video of community members that are doing their part in the fight against hunger. Last Friday we woke up at 5am and cruised over to Salinas to join the 102.5 KDON Morning Madhouse in their studio. We were given the opportunity to film them talking about why they work so closely with Grind Out Hunger. These guys have shown up at food drives to hang out, they have given Grind Out Hunger air time and support everything that we do.

As you all can imagine, it was a crazy morning! Those guys are ridiculous.  45 minutes of filming…for a 30 second final clip! Lets just say, we got our fair share of outtakes …From Domingo forgetting his lines to Showbiz using his phone during recording, it was a blast.
Hey, whoever said fighting hunger can’t be fun!?

Big thanks to the Madhouse guys; Sam Diggedy, Showbiz, Domingo, and RickyDanny for supporting the cause.

The 102.5 KDON Morning Madhouse are Hunger Fighters….ARE YOU!?
