Third Annual Fast-A-Thon
August 31st, 2011 | Published in Google Affiliate Network
One in seven people worldwide will go to bed hungry tonight... and the Google Affiliate Network team, wanted to do something about it, so on August 18th, some of the team went hungry for a day to raise over $4,000 for the World Food Program USA.
The Google Affiliate Network team joined 600 Googlers from nine offices around the world for one of our largest fund-raising events ever, the third annual Fast-A-Thon. In the name of hunger relief, participants abstained from food and water from sun-up until late afternoon, with some breaking their fast in the Ramadan tradition of dates and light snacks. Through generous donations from friends, family, and the Google employee Gift-Match, over $100,000 was donated to aid the hunger crisis in the horn of Africa.
This philanthropic event was a fantastic opportunity for the team to come together (with stomachs growling) to raise money and support a great cause.
